Project Manager

Do you want to be responsible for driving the design and construction of the facilities in one of our strategic expansion projects in Novo Nordisk Manufacturing Area? Are you interested in working with one of the best construction organisations in the pharmaceutical industry? Do you want to contribute to our “Circular for Zero” ambition and help us reduce our carbon emissions from operations and distribution to zero over the coming 10 years?

Join us as from the very beginning in building a new manufacturing site in Kalundborg!

The position
As a Project Manager, you will be working on construction projects which have high strategic importance to Novo Nordisk and will have high visibility and support from Senior Management. The job requires a high level of stakeholder management at all organisational levels in the company. Together with engineering partners and suppliers you will:

• design and build huge new facilities for new factories
• manage scope, plan, costs and project risks and secure excellent stakeholder engagement.

You will get a clear responsibility under the supervision of a senior project manager, who is in the project already.

We are looking for a motivated and proactive colleague, who can contribute to the team both professionally and personally. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in most of the following skills & experiences:

• Relevant project management experience with construction projects (either greenfield or renovation projects) ideally from the pharmaceutical industry
• At least a bachelor's degree in engineering or a similar field
• English proficiency (verbal and written) and preferably also Danish
• Solid understanding of project management systems relevant for construction projects
• Experience with managing contracts and a complex vendor setup would be an advantage

It would be an advantage if you had experience from a large global company, working with different cultures but you could also come from a smaller company, as long as you have experience with project management.

Do not hesitate to apply even if you cannot tick all the boxes, as your profile might be a great fit for our needs, anyway.

On a personal level, we imagine that you have a natural ability to engage your stakeholders, you enjoy close teamwork and have experience motivating others. You thrive in a multicultural environment that demands independence to make critical decisions. Building structure comes naturally to you and you enjoy simplicity.
