About the department

You will be part of a dynamic and growing project department currently consisting of seven people, with plans to grow further.

Our project portfolio includes both new construction of pipeline networks in connection with detailed plans (development projects) and renewal of the existing VA pipeline network.

You will represent the VA principal in the planning process and lead and coordinate complex infrastructure in collaboration with several other key stakeholders.
