๐Ÿข About Ramboll Management Consulting

Ramboll Management Consulting stands out as a global leader in driving decarbonization and sustainable business models, with a strong focus on practical, science-based solutions for complex environmental and safety challenges. Their work directly impacts critical infrastructure and energy transition projects, making them a key player in shaping resilient, low-carbon futures across industries.

About This Role

This Senior Lead Consultant role involves leading blast and fire hazard assessments for industrial and energy infrastructure, using geospatial data and modeling to quantify risks and define safety zones. You'll directly influence project safety, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience for high-stakes facilities like pipelines, power stations, and petrochemical plants.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve analyzing geospatial datasets to map natural gas pipeline hazards, leading a desktop review of blast risks for a petrochemical facility, and collaborating with GIS specialists to visualize impact radii. You'll also quantify vulnerabilities using risk matrices, draft reports on emergency exclusion zones, and align assessments with decarbonization goals for client projects.

๐ŸŽฏ Who Ramboll Management Consulting Is Looking For

  • A U.S. citizen with an active Professional Engineer license and deep experience in blast risk modeling for industrial/energy projects
  • Someone skilled in desktop reviews using authoritative sources, GIS data, and existing reports to map hazards and calculate impact radii
  • A professional who can quantify risks using structured matrices, evaluate secondary hazards, and recommend mitigation strategies
  • A collaborative leader who works effectively with GIS teams and communicates complex risk assessments to stakeholders

๐Ÿ“ Tips for Applying to Ramboll Management Consulting

1

Explicitly state your U.S. citizenship and list your Professional Engineer license number and state(s) of registration in your resume

Highlight specific projects where you led blast risk desktop reviews for pipelines, fuel depots, or petrochemical facilitiesโ€”include tools/methods used

3

Demonstrate your experience with geospatial datasets and collaboration with GIS teams by mentioning specific software (ArcGIS, QGIS) or mapping outcomes

4

Quantify your risk assessment work: mention impact radii calculated, return periods analyzed, or vulnerability matrices developed

5

Tailor your application to Ramboll's decarbonization focus by linking blast risk work to sustainable infrastructure or energy transition projects
