Step into a world of unparalleled opportunity at COWI, where innovation, sustainability, and global impact converge. As we continue to pioneer engineering solutions to shape a sustainable future, we are seeking several skilled Contract Managers or Senior Contract Managers to join COWI in redefining standards and unleashing your potential. The journey begins here.
Create the solutions that will enable a better tomorrow.
As the Contract Manager, you will work alongside other contract managers to oversee projects from negotiation and drafting to execution and compliance, ensuring seamless integration with our engineering projects. You will collaborate closely with different departments and report directly to Peter Hammershaimb, Head of Discipline, PMO.
On a day-to-day basis, you will:

• Oversee the entire contract lifecycle, from negotiation and drafting to implementation and compliance, ensuring a seamless integration with our engineering projects.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including engineers, legal, and project managers, providing effective communication and alignment on contractual matters.
• Identify potential risks in contracts and develop strategies to mitigate them, safeguarding the growth of COWI's projects.
• Utilize your negotiation powers to secure favourable terms and conditions, establishing mutually beneficial partnerships with contractors.

Your Skills. Our Team. Together We Design the Future
The first step to success and growth in this role is that you understand that collaboration, co-creation and good communication pave the way for good and well-anchored solutions. Developing ties with others is something you do naturally by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. And you never get set in your ways but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.
Your professional skills are convincing:

• Proficiency in written and oral Danish.
• Demonstrated experience in contract management within the engineering, energy, transportation/logistics, building, or related consulting industries preferred.
• Comprehensive understanding of project dynamics and a commercial mindset preferred.
• Experience with the Danish standards within construction (AB 18, ABR 18 and ABT 18) is preferred.
• Advanced communication and interpersonal skills with a high attention to details, capable of conveying complex technical information with clarity and precision.
• Adaptability to work in a diverse matrix organization, with the flexibility to navigate different cultural and business landscapes.
• Educational Background: Master’s degree in business, law, or engineering.
• Advanced degree or certification in Contract Management is an asset

We are looking for several new colleagues for the team and we can therefore be flexible on the final role descriptions – knowing that one candidate might not bring all the above qualifications.
A place to work and so much more.
