Johan Bosch obtained his master degree of civil engineering at the University of Delft in 1982 and started working with the Construction Company Ballast Nedam. After three years he moved to the city of Amsterdam working on various positions within the municipal organisation. During this period he was involved in the planning of several major projects such as a submerged road tunnel (Piet Heintunnel) and the new metro extension, the North-South metro line. In 1992 he left the municipal organisation and started working as managing director of one of the subdivisions of Tauw, a consulting company active in the fields of civil and environmental engineering. In 1994 he became board member of Tauw. In the same year he renewed his involvement with the North-South metro line project, when he was invited to become manager of the technical matters of the project. Since 1999 he is full time involved in the project as board member and working again for the municipal organisation of Amsterdam. In August 2002 he was appointed as professor at Delft University of Technology. He holds the chair of Underground Space technology (Subsurface Construction). Since 2002 he combines both positions.
