As our new Engineering Project Manager, you will be responsible for leading engineering projects through the full project lifecycle - from development and planning through execution, delivery, and closeout.

This is a highly visible role for someone who can combine engineering knowledge, project management discipline, client-facing confidence, and project team leadership.

Your key responsibilities will be:
  • Lead multi-discipline engineering projects from planning through execution and closeout, with accountability for scope, schedule, budget, quality, and client satisfaction.
  • Coordinate engineering disciplines, project controls, technical leads, and support functions to maintain alignment around project objectives and deliverables.
  • Serve as a trusted client-facing project leader, building strong relationships through proactive communication, responsiveness, and sound technical judgment.
  • Manage project financial performance, including budgets, forecasts, change management, invoicing support, cash flow awareness, and timely escalation of project risks.
  • Apply Ramboll's project delivery model, tools, and best practices to support consistent project execution and predictable outcomes.
  • Identify, assess, and manage project risks, including technical, contractual, resource, and schedule-related risks.
  • Lead project meetings, client communications, internal coordination sessions, and project status reporting.
  • Support proposal development, project planning, scope definition, and smooth transition from pursuit to execution where needed.
  • Foster a collaborative project environment where team members are engaged, informed, and empowered to deliver high-quality work.
  • Resolve issues and conflicts constructively, negotiate practical solutions, and maintain team momentum through changing project conditions.
  • Support client development through regular client engagement, awareness of client needs, and alignment with Ramboll's Energy and Industry strategy.
