Job Description

Do you want to lead complex construction projects, and do you have experience from large energy projects? Then you might be the colleague we are looking for!

The energy infrastructure expansion is developing rapidly, which brings both complex challenges and exciting projects. We pride ourselves on being committed to sustainable development that protects the environment and makes good business sense in everything we do. Our expertise in electricity and supply covers all aspects of electricity production, transmission and distribution, as well as market analysis in all phases from analysis to programming to operation of the finished plant.

Our Energy business unit has offices in Kolding, Herlev, Aarhus and Aalborg, and your daily life will be characterized by good colleagues, where you will be part of a professional environment with a focus on knowledge sharing and good cooperation.

About the tasks

As part of Projects & Project Management, you, as project manager, will manage and lead construction projects primarily in Greenland. Hereunder you are responsible for:

• Preparation of detailed planning and preparation of projects
• That the resource needs in the projects are defined and known to all involved project employees and managers
• To monitor and control that the project work is at all times in accordance with the applicable design basis
• Direct reporting to the customer and internal steering group as well as associated experts from AFRY around Europe
• To manage and lead project execution.

It will also be your responsibility to handle and nurture customer contacts with a view to business development and sales, primarily in Greenland.

The projects are expected to be managed from Denmark, but travel activity to - and in - Greenland is expected.

Qualifications

Your educational background is not decisive, but if you have an electrical engineering background, it is an advantage. On the other hand, an education in project management is a requirement and eventual certification is an advantage.

We imagine that you will be a good fit for the job if you:

• Have documented experience in leading large/complex projects, as well as experience in planning and managing time, costs and resources
• Have experience in managing external consultants and stakeholders and extensive experience in internal and external project management
• Have a strategic mindset and are able to oversee complex issues and make difficult decisions
• Are good at building relationships, have high personal credibility and are able to make people collaborate
• Are a strong negotiator, conflict resolver and communicator, and have the ability to set goals and direction for these.

It is also an advantage if you have experience from large construction projects in Greenland or similar Arctic or remote areas, but it is not decisive. Experience with the development and project management of hydropower plants is also desirable. You are fluent in Danish and can speak English at negotiation level.
