Planners for DSB’s large investments - and transformation projects

Imagine being part of the team responsible for planning and ensuring a timely rollout of a new fleet or being part of the team monitoring supplier schedules.

The discipline of planning is growing, and our work is in demand for projects and programs, therefore, we are looking for new planners to join our team.
 

"As a planner, you will join one of Denmark’s largest infrastructure programs and collaborate with a diverse group of skilled people from around the world," Rasmus Rubinstein, Head of cross-functional PMO, explains.

Denmark is facing extensive investments and changes in the railway, and DSB is playing an important part by enhancing new rolling stock, establishing new maintenance facilities, and converting S-banen into a fully automatic network. Learn more about our major investments (in Danish).

Welcome to our Project Management Office (PMO)

We are looking forward to welcoming you in our cross-functional PMO, where you have your functional home. In daily life, you will be working on our major projects and programs.

In the PMO, you will have eight other Planners with whom you can share knowledge and sparring. You will also work closely with many other skilled PMO and project colleagues.
 

Rasmus says: 
"In the PMO, we are more than 45 highly skilled professionals who are responsible for planning, reporting, risk management, project support, document management, and quality management".

You will work in close collaboration with our Project Planners and Project Managers and assist the Project Managers in relation to best practice within planning – both theoretically, practically, and technologically.
