Job Description

Can you master your craft when it comes to construction and civil engineering budgeting? Do you thrive being the one who ensures that projects stand on a solid financial foundation? Should your next role be a position with influence and impact – not only in projects, but also in relation to internal workflows? Then there very well could be a match between you and this role at Ramböll!

Our Cost Management team is growing, and we are now seeking a colleague who is strong in costing and budgeting and who will help take our services to the next level! With us you will have the opportunity to work with many different construction economic matters, spanning all types of buildings, while you also – together with our experienced Cost Managers – will help drive the team’s continued development. Will you join the journey?

Your new role

As Cost Manager you will be responsible for facilitating the process around pricing through different phases, by preparing construction budgets for both smaller and larger, complex interdisciplinary projects. You will play a crucial role in ensuring well-documented cost calculations that support our high standards for technical precision and reliability. The work is done in close collaboration with colleagues from various disciplines – including engineers, architects, project managers and specialists – who will also actively participate in qualifying the calculation.

The role includes both responsibility and influence, and you will have ample opportunity to make your mark – not only on the individual tasks but also on the internal processes and cross-functional collaboration within the team. You will become part of a small, but tightly knit team, which sits on extensive knowledge of construction economics and costing.

At Rambøll we work on everything from power plants to mega hospitals and everything in between – so there are plenty of professional challenges and complex projects to dig into for you, who nerds out over budgets and enjoys making the numbers add up.

Your main responsibilities will be

• Preparation of construction calculations and economic overview
• Assemble a transparent construction budget
• Overview of all construction disciplines
• Provide financial support and quality checks to our colleagues
• Ac liaison and proactive on your own projects
• Participation in project and sales meetings
• Ensure correct documentation of the financial frameworks, risks and construction budgets
• Contribute to optimization of internal processes and financial flow.

About you

• Have solid experience from a similar role, typically 6-7 years or more, e.g. as bid leader, estimator or cost planner within construction or civil works, preferably in turnkey projects
• Have an educational background as building constructor, engineer or similar, or have gained equivalent technical insight through experience
• Have strong competencies in costing, budgeting and financial control of complex projects
• Can manage the process around cost calculations independently and communicate confidently with engineers, architects, project managers and other specialists
• Have a solid holistic understanding of the construction processes and can assess the economics across multiple technical disciplines
• Have commercial understanding and thrive with responsibility in relation to both projects and clients
• Can contribute with professional leadership, sparring and mentoring in the team
• Can communicate fluently in Danish, both orally and in writing
• Are strong in relationship-building both internally and externally

What we can offer you

• Opportunity to work with a wide range of complex construction and civil engineering projects that help shape future buildings, infrastructure and energy solutions
• A role where your professional expertise and financial insight influence the decisions made on some of our largest and most complex projects
• Opportunity to make your mark on the development of the Cost Management area and help strengthen our professional approach and workflows
• A strong professional environment with inspiration and sparring from colleagues, clients and projects across disciplines
• A flexible work environment with the possibility of working from home
• Pension scheme via PFA including paid health insurance
• Technical excursions and social events with colleagues
