You will belong to a department that works with investigating, designing, and executing work on utility networks, water treatment plants, pumping stations, and other facilities. As a construction manager, you will drive various contracts within the water and sewage sector, and the assignments can range from simpler pipeline expansions to complex pumping station and water treatment plant projects. The role will be adapted based on both the needs of the business and your own interests, but overall you will:
- Lead construction and technical meetings
- Coordinate internal and external stakeholders in the contract
- Conduct ongoing construction inspections
- Manage financial follow-up and change order handling
- Act as an advisor during procurement and design
Collaboration is an important success factor, and in your role, you will work with both project operations and operational activities. In addition to support from your immediate manager, you will have assistance from your team, which consists of several construction managers and a specialist. Within the team, there is many years of expertise, and we are keen to help each other where needed.

- Collaborative: You enjoy working with others and actively work to create good relationships both internally and externally.
- Structured: You will work on several contracts simultaneously, which requires your ability to structure your work time and drive your contracts forward.
- Independent: You have the courage and ability to make your own decisions within the scope of your assignment without relying on others. You take responsibility for your tasks and drive the work forward.
