at Ramboll Management Consulting

🏢 About Ramboll Management Consulting

Ramboll Management Consulting uniquely integrates science, engineering, and economics to drive decarbonization and sustainable business models globally. As a purpose-driven firm, it offers the chance to work on transformative water sector projects that address critical sustainability challenges, making it ideal for professionals seeking meaningful impact beyond traditional consulting.

About This Role

This role involves leading growth and sales initiatives specifically for water consulting services across the UK and Ireland, requiring development of market strategies to expand Ramboll's footprint. It's impactful because you'll directly shape sustainable water solutions for corporate clients, aligning business growth with environmental decarbonization goals in a critical sector.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve virtual meetings with UK water utility clients to discuss decarbonization project opportunities, analyzing market data to refine growth strategies for Ramboll's water services, and collaborating with technical teams to tailor engineering-economic solutions for proposals. You'll balance relationship-building with corporate clients and internal strategy development, all while staying aligned with regional sustainability targets.

  • Has 5+ years in growth/sales leadership within water sector consulting, with a track record of expanding service lines or geographic markets
  • Demonstrates deep expertise in both water industry dynamics (e.g., regulation, infrastructure, utilities) and corporate sustainability challenges
  • Possesses a proven network of mid-size to global corporate clients in the UK/Ireland water sector, with examples of relationship-driven revenue growth
  • Can articulate how science/engineering-based consulting (not just generic sales) drives sustainable business solutions for water clients

📝 Tips for Applying to Ramboll Management Consulting

1

Quantify your growth achievements in water consulting—e.g., 'Grew water sector revenue by 30% in 2 years through 5 new corporate clients'

2

Highlight specific UK/Ireland water sector knowledge, such as familiarity with Ofwat regulations, Water Resources Management Plans, or regional sustainability targets

3

Tailor your resume to show how you've integrated technical consulting (science/engineering/economics) with commercial growth in past roles

4

Reference Ramboll's 'Decarbonisation' and 'Sustainable Business Models' focus in your application materials, not just generic sustainability terms

5

If remote, emphasize experience managing distributed teams or clients across UK/Ireland without centralized office support

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your proven ability to develop and execute market strategies for water consulting services, with a specific example from your career', "How your client relationships in the water sector align with Ramboll's corporate client focus (mid-size to global)", 'Your understanding of linking science/engineering-based solutions to business growth in sustainability consulting', "Why Ramboll's integrated approach (vs. pure engineering or management consulting firms) appeals to you for water sector growth"]

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Generic sales experience without water sector or sustainability consulting context—Ramboll emphasizes technical-commercial integration
  • Overemphasis on remote work flexibility without demonstrating ability to build client relationships virtually in the water industry
  • Failing to articulate how growth strategies align with Ramboll's core mission of decarbonization and sustainable business models
