🏢 About Ramboll Management Consulting

Ramboll Management Consulting stands out as a global leader driving decarbonization and sustainable business models, with a strong presence in Norway's progressive environmental sector. The company uniquely integrates engineering expertise with strategic consulting to deliver tangible climate solutions across diverse markets. Working here offers the opportunity to contribute to Norway's ambitious sustainability goals while being part of an international network focused on meaningful environmental impact.

About This Role

This Project Manager position involves overseeing projects from conception through completion within Ramboll's multidisciplinary consulting environment, specifically supporting Norway's transition to sustainable infrastructure. You'll be responsible for managing scope, budgets, and quality processes while coordinating design teams across Buildings, Energy, Transport, or Water sectors. The role is impactful because you'll directly contribute to decarbonization projects that align with Norway's national climate commitments and Ramboll's global sustainability mission.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning coordination meetings with multidisciplinary design teams working on a sustainable building project, followed by budget reviews and risk register updates for an energy sector client. You'd likely spend afternoons on quality assurance documentation, client communications about project progress, and planning for upcoming project phases while ensuring all activities align with Ramboll's sustainability standards and Norwegian regulatory requirements.
