After 30 years success, subsidiaries in over 25 countries and a merger with another large name in the market, they hope to give employees the possibility for an international and intercultural experience. 

We’re looking for someone that feels at home both in conference rooms and on construction sites and who find motivation from being able to facilitate improvements and developing effective co-operation through internal and external networks.

Job requirements

In a combination that we feel would support both the business and you in you in this role we wish you would meet most of the below requirements.

Excellent communication and leadership skills will support you in the role, for example in creating and fostering long-lasting networks both internally and within the industry which is one key element for success. Self-reliant take to work, strong interpersonal skills and pro-active attitude are elements that will push you forward, partly as this is a new role in the Nordic region so there isn't someone there who could tell you all the lessons learned and best practices during your first days.  

We are looking to fill this position as soon as possible, so if you are interested please don't wait in submitting your CV. The position will be filled as soon as we find the perfect match.
