Are you seeking opportunities for personal and professional development?

Then we have the unique opportunity for you to join an exciting project organisation as a Project Manager within Corporate Facilities and lead projects that contributes to Novo Nordisk growth. Apply now for a life-changing career!

We are currently looking for Project Managers and Senior Project Managers within the following areas:

• Road infrastructure: Responsible for designing and implementing new roads, intersections and more in order to ensure accessibility to our Danish sites.
• Parking house: Guarantee the construction of ample parking capacity for our future employees by leading parking garage projects, maintaining the current parking facility standard as well as implementing it across both new and existing sites.
• Office expansion: Lead a major transformation from worn-out offices to a modern facility in line with our high standards. This will entail everything from HVAC and security to interior surfaces and design.
• Conference sites: Work on our conference buildings, which includes a range of structures, from impressive historic buildings, demanding extensive expertise in restoration/renovation, to more modern buildings. With the properties in operation, the complexity is heightened due to limited possibilities for shorter shutdowns. This role demands a comprehensive understanding of construction regulations.
• Interior design: Contribute to maintaining a modern and flexible appearance in line with our office design standards as well as aiding in their development and staying updated on current trends in office design and furniture.

The position
As our new Project Manager, we expect you to deliver high-quality project management for projects of varying size, budget, and complexity. Our project pipeline, which includes projects within technique-, building- and infrastructure projects, is rapidly growing.

All project design and execution are handled in close collaboration with the operating departments, local service centers and other relevant departments in Novo Nordisk. Stakeholder management is a significant part of the job, as we work with facilities and surroundings that affect many colleagues and processes.

In this role you can expect that you will have the full responsibility for the projects, and you are expected to run the entire process from A-Z, which includes:

• Mature projects from idea to final design to execution and handover.
• Management of external consultants within technique, construction, and technical disciplines.
• Execution of projects within agreed scope, budget, and timeline.
• Commissioning of the projects, as well as successful handover to operations.
• Being the go-to person in terms of smoothly moving from project to operation and ensuring that the implemented solutions can be operated.

You will become an integral part of the execution team, ensuring that we implement tangible and significant steps towards a sustainable site infrastructure.

Qualifications
We are seeking candidates who fulfil the following prerequisites:

• Preferably a master’s degree in engineering or similar education.
• Minimum 3 years of project management experience.
• Solid know-how in driving infrastructure projects as well as broad knowledge of the engineering landscape within facility management and the newest trends within this field.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with ability to utilise when taking projects through execution and handover.
• Fluency in spoken and written English and Danish.

Furthermore, we expect that you are able to handle most situations independently, receiving minimal guidance, but will seek advice and guidance on more complex issues. You should be able to set directions and deliver results in own role which has a significant impact within the context of a wider operational area.

On a personal level, you are very trustworthy, a team player and have flair for stakeholder management as you will be in daily contact with line of business, vendors, etc. We expect you to have excellent planning skills, ability to work in a structured manner with an agile and proactive mind-set and be capable of handling a high-paced and complex work environment without losing oversight and motivation.

About the department
In Corporate Facilities, with 300+ employees, we enable Novo Nordisk to focus on the core business by delivering simple and agile solutions for infrastructure, workplaces, utilities, and facility services as well as a major building portfolio. We create tangible business results by partnering with all areas of the business and what we do impacts all Novo Nordisk’s employees in their workday. We give high level of responsibility from day one and you will experience a continuously steep learning curve, where your own aspirations set the boundaries.

Your primary base will be in Bagsværd, however the job involves activities across our Danish sites. The 21 colleagues in the department manage a large portfolio of maintenance, infrastructure, renovation and expansion projects with various complexity and size, across all Danish sites.

The environment is relaxed and welcoming. We are very aware of supporting each other, and even though many of your colleagues will be looking your way for answers, you will not be on your own with either challenges or victories.
