FULL TIME

September 1, 2024

Do you want to enable large infrastructure projects such as the new Copenhagen Metro Line, Copenhagen Light rail, Novo Nordisk expansion projects, and many others across Denmark? Do you have experience with utility coordination in large infrastructure and buildings projects, as well as client representation for construction management? And can you lead a team of engaged and highly skilled colleagues in the largest utility coordination community in Denmark? Then, this is your call to join us!
Turn challenges into sustainable solutions
As Head of Utilities and Construction Management, your most important responsibility will be to lead, develop, and engage your team of 16+ specialists. The team is diverse with different professional and social backgrounds, but all team members share a high level of specialist knowledge. We are proud to have a high engagement, great internal collaborations, and to be the largest professional community of utility coordination advisory in Denmark. As part of your daily work as Head of this discipline, you will both partake in your own projects with our large customers as well as contribute to setting direction for project- and construction management, as well as innovation and digitalization of the team’s services.
Your key activities will be:

Carrying out the department action plan and strategy within your discipline,
Setting clear targets for performance and individual development of your employees
Day-to-day people management, recruitment and onboarding activities as needed
Lead/support project teams for the undertaking of projects
Provide technical leadership on projects
Providing input to staff workload planning
Implementation, integration and development of digital strategies, tools and systems

Your competencies are the key to our success.
We are looking for someone who is highly motivated, curious, and passionate about expanding their leadership knowledge and competencies. Like us, you believe that your success as a leader comes from setting meaningful and intentional direction for your team and supporting them in taking ownership of their work. You coach your people to achieve their aspirations through constructive, fact-based feedback – and you ensure an open and safe dialogue while creating a flexible and healthy work environment. Attracting and nurturing a diverse group of high-potential team members is at the top of your agenda, as is creating an inclusive, caring and trusting culture in your team.
On top of that, you will have:

A degree in civil engineering or similar, relating to build environment
Experience steering projects and providing technical guidance within the utilities sector in Denmark
Comprehensive experience within the utilities sector - particularly within transportation or buildings,
Professional proficiency in Danish and English.

A place to work and so much more
At COWI, we work together with our customers to shape a sustainable and liveable world. We do it by applying our knowledge and curiosity – and sometimes even our courage – to create the solutions the world needs today to enable a better tomorrow. That is why we say no to fossil-based projects and aspire to have 100% of our revenue come from activities that move our customers towards sustainability.
We value differences and development and cultivate an environment of belonging and having fun. Because that is what brings out the best in you, at work and at home.
With offices primarily located in the Nordic region, the UK, North America and India, we are currently more than 8,000 people who bring their expertise in engineering, architecture, energy and environment into play.
