During the test and commissioning phase, we also have resources on-site to perform the cold test on all systems.

You will be a part of a team with high engagement and strong competencies. You will also join a professional organization with an entrepreneurial mindset that has great ambitions. Your main tasks and responsibilities as the Electrical Engineering Manager will include:

• Grow and develop the Electrical Engineering team to ensure the right capabilities for the continuing improvement of Nature Energy
• Resource planning for electrical and automation tasks on new build projects, modifications to existing plants and R&D related projects.
• Use best practice electrical engineering methods, tools, and techniques to further improve ways of working
• Participate in close cooperation with other departments
• Specify resources for new projects and process activities
• Develop and optimize external engineering partnerships
• Own and manage the tools and software used in the department, including interfaces with external providers
• Contribute to the overall procurement activities and strategy for electrical and automation components used in the projects.

You will be a valued member of the Engineering leadership team referring to the Senior Director of Engineering , Trond Martin Bredesen. You will have people in Århus, Støvring, and Odense and your base will preferably be in Århus.

Experienced leader with technical skills and a people mindset

You are an emphatic and professional leader with several years of leadership experience - preferably from an international environment within the process- or energy sector. You have a degree in a relevant Engineering area and in-depth knowledge of Engineering functions and management of specialists.

Collaborating and people management come naturally to you, and you have experience with project management and project models/methods. You know how to navigate in a specialized, technical environment and create and maintain an overview so you can make the right priorities and decisions.

As a person, you enjoy responsibility and share your knowledge with the organization. You are structured, detailed oriented and calm, and well-balanced even in stressful situations where you have both impact and empathy enough to implement change processes in a sometimes-hectic environment.
