We invite you to bring your experience within design and design management of bridge engineering projects into play as you act as the technical center point on iconic and complex bridge projects.

Inviting bright minds
Do you want to push the boundaries of your profession and develop your excellence in an open, collaborative and empowering culture? We work to create a sustainable future and our inspiring projects and innovative solutions aim to set the standard among our peers. You will join a global company that has been growing successfully since its founding in 1945. Together, we lead and leave a positive impact on societies, companies and people around the world.

You will join our Bridge department in Copenhagen
As our new Chief Bridge Engineer, you will be part of a team consisting of roughly 30 experts within bridge engineering. The department has earlier mainly worked on the Danish market but are now also actively pursuing opportunities outside Denmark. We are currently delivering projects in Scandinavia and in central and southern Europe.

We mainly focus on new railway, road and footbridges but also have significant experience within movable bridges. We are furthermore on a national level involved in loads on and safety of structures and implementation of bridge specific Eurocodes.

You will become a key member and technical lead within a project team for new bridges. Our project pipeline is constantly developing, and your contribution will be essential to further strengthen our portfolio and customer relations. You will be expected to take an active role in the development of the department, as well as the international growth of the department.

You will be the technical center point on our projects. Multidisciplinary by nature, you will have the opportunity to exercise and develop many engineering skills. Your work will also include coordination with disciplines outside of our department, such as geotechnical designers, road designers, MEP designers, etc.

We work in all phases of the project life cycle, from the early stages of feasibility studies to detailed design projects for contractors. Depending on your experience and skills, you can influence your further development to a large extent, and we will offer you a broad selection of internal training programs.

You will be responsible for the team’s project delivery being compliant, timely and correct. This is essential for all our projects. We work in a true collaborative environment, where team work and knowledge sharing are an integral part of our success.

Your workplace will be Ramboll Head Office in Copenhagen but due to the international nature of our business, traveling activities are to be expected.

Your starting point for constant growth
From the moment you join Ramboll, we will support your personal and professional development so that you grow with the company. For this role, we believe your starting point is:

• A Structural Engineering degree
• 10 to 15 years’ experience in various phases of bridge projects
• At least 5 years’ experience in the design of bridges to Eurocode
• Fluency in written and spoken English – Danish, Swedish or Norwegian is an advantage but not a prerequisite

On a more personal level, you have strong communication skills, experience in leading design teams, and a keen interest in mentoring junior team members. But foremost you are a highly skilled bridge design engineer with a broad knowledge within bridge technology.

You are willing to take initiative to develop our business in terms of improving internal processes, tools and delivery model as well as participating in sales activities and extending our customer base.

Furthermore, you are process oriented and able to focus on the customer, which typically is the contractor on these major infrastructure projects. You will be an important player in sales activities and tender projects. Creativity and an adaptive mindset is therefore essential.
