Job Description:

Are you an ambitious leader with a passion for people and environment? Join COWI as Head of Discipline - Environmental Planning and play a pivotal role in driving excellence and sustainability in our engineering projects. Lead a talented team and shape the future with us.

Be part of the solutions that will enable a better tomorrow
This is an opportunity to be involved and influence some of the most exciting projects in infrastructure and industry in Sweden and across the Nordic region. You will have the chance to contribute to the development of our environmental planning segment to the next level. You will be leading one of two teams of talented specialists and expand the team to strengthen our value proposition to our clients.

The projects in environmental planning are versatile and focused on the green change in the energy sector within infrastructure and industry. The team is specialized within biodiversity surveys (NVI), environmental permit processes, environmental impact assessments (MKB), and sustainability assessments and climate calculations. Examples of projects we work on are Norrbotniabanan, several stretches of Ostlänken (for example Kolmårdsentrepenaden with Sweden's second-longest railway tunnel), Railway plan (Järnvägsplan) for Borås, and large power transfer projects for the Swedish national grid.

Together with the other Head of Discipline within environmental planning, your most important responsibility will be to lead, develop, and engage the team of specialists located in Gothenburg and Malmö. There are also colleagues in Poland that are included in resource management responsibilities. Operations will be driven mainly by digital and distance management, but some traveling between offices and projects will be necessary for site visits and meetings with employees and clients. Your own base can be Göteborg, Malmö, or Stockholm.

Your key activities will be:

- Execute on the department action plan and the strategy within your discipline.
- Provide technical project leadership on projects e.g. act as discipline lead / senior specialist in projects.
- Day-to-day people management, recruitment, and onboarding activities.
- Lead/support project teams for the undertaking of projects.
- Manage short term staffing and provide input to strategic staff workforce planning.
- Setting clear targets and provide the foundation for performance and individual development of your employees.
- Be active in client relations, market sales activities, and strategic development.

Your skills. Our team. Together we create the future
Like us, you believe that leadership success comes from setting a clear and meaningful direction for your team and supporting them in taking ownership of their work. You delegate responsibility and ensure an open and safe dialogue, and you coach your team to achieve their aspirations through constructive, fact-based feedback. Attracting and nurturing a diverse group of high-potential team members is at the top of your agenda, as is creating an inclusive, caring, and trusting culture in your team.

On top of that, you will have:

- Relevant academic education such as MSc. or BSc. in environmental science, environmental engineering, environmental law, or similar.
- Relevant work experience corresponding to the work tasks described above.
- Professional proficiency in Swedish and English.
