UCN seeks an instructor with experience in project management, planning and financial management in construction

Do you want to use your experience from the construction industry to educate the builders of the future?

At the Building Construction Engineering Education at Professionshøjskolen UCN, we are seeking a new colleague with strong competencies in project management, planning and financial management. You will have the opportunity to bring your practical experience into teaching and help develop a practice-oriented and research-based education.

The program has about 400 students and 22 engaged employees. The teaching is project-oriented and based on semester projects, where the students work with real-world problems. We collaborate closely with the construction industry and other educational institutions on, among other things, projects, guest lectures, internships, and research and development activities.

The department is undergoing an exciting change. During 2027 we expect to start a new round of offerings in Hjørring and establish an international offering in Aalborg. As a new colleague you will have the opportunity to actively contribute to the development of the educational offerings and help shape new professional and pedagogical environments.

About the position

You will teach and supervise in subjects related to the planning and management disciplines of construction. This includes, among other things, contract terms, quality assurance, economics and time management in both the design and execution phases. We would like you to have in-depth knowledge of the executing part of the industry, for example from a contracting company.

You will meet students with different backgrounds and prerequisites. Therefore it is important that you can create inclusive teaching, meet the students with curiosity and see opportunities rather than limitations.

• great opportunity to shape the future building constructors with ideas and innovation
• opportunity to develop teaching and academic content
• a strong working environment with broad professional competencies and close collegial sparring
• participation in research and development projects relevant to the construction industry
• close collaboration with the construction industry and opportunity to maintain your professional network
• opportunity to play an active role in the department's development in Aalborg and Hjørring

Who are you?

We imagine that you have a construction-related higher education degree at a minimum bachelor level as an engineer or building constructor.

In addition we emphasize that you

• have solid experience with planning and management of construction projects, preferably from a contracting company
• can translate your professional knowledge and experience into engaging teaching
• are keen to contribute to UCN’s development of a research-based educational environment
