You may choose freely to be based either at our office in Gentofte in the Greater Copenhagen area or in Skærbæk near Fredericia on local terms and conditions. However, you should expect at least 60 days of travelling a year in relation to your work. Travelling will mainly consist of regular 1-2 days Yard visits to follow up on status with the fabrication manager, supervisors and contractors.

Moreover, you will assist in the preparation, maintenance and implementation of project quality plans, eg by preparing and updating quality activity schedules and the master document register, detailing quality activities and ensuring ongoing collection and handling of fabrication documentation such as final as-built documentation. You will be responsible for follow-up on and registration of contractor NCRs in our own document handling system.

Furthermore, your key duties will be to:

You must have the courage to influence development and the ambition to further develop your competences. It is also vital that you have extensive insight into project processes, preferably from a similar position.

As we operate in a highly international environment, it is essential that you speak and write English fluently. It will be an advantage if you also have Danish skills.
