Then we have a unique opportunity for you to join a rapidly growing project organization as an Associate Manager and lead projects that contribute to our zero environmental impact strategy, Circular for Zero!

The Position
As a Manager, you will lead a team of 10 or more project managers. Your team is involved in establishing a local distribution network and site-wide utilities for steam, heat, water, cooling, and emergency power backup, aiming for fossil-free service delivery.

In this position, you will be responsible for:

• Setting the direction of several project managers working on utility projects on our Danish production sites.

• Dynamic staffing process, encompassing recruitment, hiring, and the careful management of workforce changes within our expanding organization.

• Developing our employees and producing talents.

• Managing stakeholders across different seniority levels in Novo Nordisk, all the way from equipment owners, other project managers to senior management.

• Offering support together with your team to the Senior Project Managers running our flagship projects that aim to transform our energy infrastructure.

Furthermore, this is a great opportunity to be an integral part of the execution team, ensuring that we implement tangible and significant steps towards achieving zero environmental impact.

Qualifications
To succeed in this position, you have:

• Preferably a Master’s degree in Engineering or similar technical fields

• At least 2+ years of people management experience with a leadership toolbox

• Solid experience with hiring and onboarding new employees and can demonstrate excellent results in developing an organization.

• Project management experience or experience within energy design, energy infrastructure, or utility installations is an advantage.

• Fluency in spoken and written English, and Danish as a plus.

• Great problem-solving skills with a structured and skilled approach to navigating high complexity.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills and experience at all levels.

• Ability to motivate yourself and your project team.

As an individual with a can-do attitude, you work systematically, logically, and proactively. You are self-driven, structured, robust, and capable of handling a high-paced and complex work environment without losing oversight and motivation.

About the Department
The job is anchored in the department “Sustainable Utility Projects,” which is part of Corporate Facilities. We manage a large portfolio of sustainability projects at multiple impact and maturity levels, some spanning the entire organization. We drive execution all the way from design to handover and work systematically and strategically to implement ‘Circular for Zero’ initiatives within the areas of energy supplies and utility installations. We collaborate across many business areas of Novo Nordisk and with external partners including consultants and contractors.
