About the department

Investment | Engineering & Sourcing is part of the Product Supply organization. Product Supply is a modern technology organization that proactively drives the purpose of Novo Nordisk and delivers the highest quality of products to patients in a sustainable and efficient way.

In IES, we play a key role in ensuring that there is sufficient capacity to treat our patients worldwide. We are doing so by supporting our global capex projects succeeding in their projects through engineering and sourcing activities. When we talk about capex projects, we are referring to maintenance and expansion of production facilities.

As a function we sit in the sweet spot between our global supplier base and our colleagues in the projects who are considered our customers.

Due to the large growth in the overall company, we have also a significant increase in capex spend and related projects that we are supporting. This situation gives a fantastic opportunity to strengthen the contributions we are delivering even more as well as driving change through the capex projects in line with the company aspirations.

Today, our team consists of around 70 employees with diverse backgrounds, and we prioritize teamwork, collaboration, and a people-focused culture. Regardless of your experience level, you will have the opportunity to learn and grow within our supportive and inclusive environment.

Working at Novo Nordisk

At Novo Nordisk, we don’t wait for change. We drive it. We’re a dynamic company in an even more dynamic industry, and we know that what got us to where we are today is not necessarily what will make us successful in the future. We embrace the spirit of experimentation, striving for excellence without fixating on perfection. We never shy away from opportunities to develop, we seize them. From research and development, through to manufacturing, marketing and sales – we’re all working to move the needle on patient care.
