Concept Manager
Would you like to help us realise a visionary strategy on greener power and heat production?
Concept Manager responsible for materials and components for thermal power stations
Join us and become our dedicated and business-oriented Concept Manager with an interest in materials and components to spearhead the technical development of our large thermal power stations. You will be based in the Technology Concepts department in the business area Technology Solutions, which is a part of our technical competence centre for optimisation, construction and renovation of power stations and plants.
Technology Concepts is responsible for the delivery of robust technical concepts and for the technical project development in the project start-up phases, including eg technology screening, concept development, budgeting, scheduling and supplier lists. You will therefore have plenty of opportunity to influence the commercial basis for our thermal power plants.
Technology Concepts is part of Thermal Power which has 900 employees and constitutes one of five business areas in DONG Energy. We own just below half of the thermal production capacity in Denmark and thanks to innovative bio-refining technologies, we are at the forefront of development within efficient use of biomass and reduction of the environmental impact. We are also working hard to improve the flexibility of our plants in order for them to interact to an even greater extent with the many new technologies that are supporting today's power grid.
You may choose freely to be based either at our office in Skærbæk near Fredericia or in Gentofte in the Greater Copenhagen area. You should, however, expect some travelling in relation to your work, both between these two locations and to our power stations and reference plants.
Areas of responsibility
As Concept Manager responsible for materials and components, you will be responsible for the early phases of projects requiring special knowledge of materials and components, eg lifetime extension projects. You will have the overall responsibility for planning and conducting expert evaluations of condition and then map the necessary scope for this and prepare investment estimates and time schedules. When the project is handed over to the executing organisation, you will be attached to this to ensure that consulting deliveries within your area of expertise will be specified and quality-assured.
In addition, you will be responsible for coordinating examinations of the impact of materials and components for changed operation of our plants, eg faster load changes, alternative fuels, more frequent start/stop, etc.
Furthermore, your key duties will be to:
- provide operational support in connection with breakdowns, revisions and maintenance, including the preparation of inspection and replacement plans for materials and components
- be responsible for our cross-organisational knowledge centre for materials and components
- be Thermal Power's representative in relevant national and international collaborations on materials for thermal power stations and thereby ensure the transfer of new knowledge to the group
- manage small project teams consisting of both internal colleagues and external consultants and handle the commercial and technical stakeholders in these
- prepare accurate CAPEX, DEVEX and OPEX budgets and time schedules and shed light on safety aspects of both the design as well as operation of the various components.
In addition, you will be responsible for keeping up to date on the development of components, materials and manufacturing procedures for thermal power plants in order to optimally contribute to the development of our facilities.
Your profile
You have a relevant educational background, eg a master's degree in engineering or similar, and experience with one or more of the following areas of material technology: manufacturing, welding, corrosion as well as the associated code of standards.
Furthermore, you will have project management experience and an understanding of both the technical and commercial aspects of the projects. As we are working in a radically changing competitive market, it is important that you want to challenge current technical solutions.
The projects are often subject to a great deal of attention from many sides, and you will have many contacts across both the project and the line organisation and our commercial departments as well as among consultants, suppliers and authorities. It is therefore essential that you have good cooperation skills, are assertive and understand how to navigate the project efficiently in relation to the many different interests and factors to which it is subject.
We offer
A challenging and exciting job, where you will be part of a dynamic department with committed colleagues who value professional sparring and maintain a relaxed, informal tone.
In DONG Energy Thermal Power, we have a high level of expertise and many complex and challenging work tasks. We are working targeted with our thermal projects and have, among other things, increased the share of biomass significantly in our power and heat production, and we are constantly working to optimise and streamline our power stations.
