Project Manager with a marine biology background

Apply for this job

Work with the sea, nature and the environment – where expertise makes a difference.

Are you a marine biologist or natural science specialist , and are you motivated by working with environmental impacts, regulatory processes and projects in and around the sea?

Then you may be the person we are looking for for our marine biological projects at WSP .

In WSP’s Nature & Marina division we are seeking an experienced consultant who can both take project management responsibility and actively use their expertise in complex environmental tasks where nature, legislation and societal development meet.

The professional focus – and what you will work with

As a project manager and subject-matter expert you will play a central role in environmental impact assessment processes (MKR) and related authorities work for projects in and around the sea. You will work from the early dialogue with authorities to the final environmental impact report – and be involved where decisions are made.

Your tasks will include

• Coordinate and prepare environmental impact reports and technical background reports
• Plan and follow up on marine environmental surveys and field activities
• Ensure high professional quality, progress and structure in the projects
• Contribute with professional assessments within marine biology, environmental impacts, habitat- and Natura 2000-issues
• Engage in close dialogue with authorities, clients and partners
• Collaborate with colleagues in a strong interdisciplinary marine professional environment

You will gain both responsibility and influence – and the opportunity to shape the solutions with your knowledge.

The Nature & Marina division consists of more than 60 specialists and is part of a network of over 300 nature and environment professionals in WSP Denmark.
