Senior Ports and Coastal Engineer

In the department for Ports and Geo Structures in Ørestad (Copenhagen) we are involved in a number of significant port and coastal projects at home and abroad.

The assignments range from international port projects (in for example the Philippines, Lebanon, Morocco, UAE, Russia, Poland, and Greenland), coastal engineering and planning assignments to the planning and design of other marine structures such as offshore foundations for bridges and wind turbines.

Further, the department is involved in significant infrastructure projects involving complex geotechnical structures such as for example Nordhavnsvej, Copenhagen-Ringsted and the Fehmarn-Ringsted connection.

The department works with all kinds of coastal hydraulic assignments, coastal engineering and Shoreline Management. An increasing number of flooding management and coastal protection projects, related to more frequent and severe storms the past years, is part of the department’s portfolio.

Our clients are typically Port Authorities, Terminal Operators, Contractors, Municipalities or private clients.

To help us, we are looking for a highly skilled colleague who can take a leading technical role in the planning and design of ports plus marine and coastal engineering projects.

We are looking for a colleague who has wide technical competences and experience. Our new colleague needs to have deep professional insight into the ports plus marine and coastal engineering area and the capacity to act as mentor and technical lifeline for younger colleagues.
