Do you want to enable and work with innovative projects such as Hydrogen Backbone and H2 Energy Hydrogen Production? And can you lead and inspire our Green Fuels and Energy discipline, to work globally on projects like these? Then, this is your chance to lead from the front.

Turn challenges into sustainable solutions – your role as Head of Green Fuels Mechanical
In Green Fuels we are a dynamic, international, and innovative team that delivers a wide range of engineering services to clients. Our highly motivated and skilled colleagues have brought us to a market-leading position within biomass, waste-to-energy, green fuels, Power-to-X, and carbon capture and we need you to be part of our growth journey!

As Head of Green Fuels Mechanical, your most important responsibility will be to lead, develop, and engage your team of approximately 20 colleagues located in various offices in Denmark but with the majority placed in Lyngby, where the position is anchored. You will lead a multi-disciplinary team within biomass, waste to energy, green fuels, and carbon capture with seniority ranging from Student Assistant to Project Director. As part of your daily work, you will have close sparring with your peer leaders who work within line management, technical, and project leadership.

Your key responsibilities will be:

• Carrying out the department action plan and strategy within your discipline,
• Setting clear targets for performance and individual development of your employees
• Day-to-day people management, recruitment, and onboarding activities as needed
• Lead/support project teams for the undertaking of projects
• Provide technical leadership on projects and facilitate standardization of tasks in your team
• Providing input to staff workload planning
• Implementation, integration, and development of digital strategies, tools, and systems

Your competencies are the key to our success.
We seek someone highly motivated, curious, and passionate about expanding their leadership knowledge and competencies. Like us, you believe that your success as a leader comes from setting meaningful and intentional direction for your team and supporting them in taking ownership of their work. You coach your people to achieve their aspirations through constructive, fact-based feedback – and you ensure an open and safe dialogue while creating a flexible and healthy work environment. Attracting and nurturing a diverse group of high-potential team members is at the top of your agenda, as is creating an inclusive, caring, and trusting culture in your team.

On top of that, you will have:

• A relevant degree, preferably in engineering
• Reasonable experience in a relevant role, e.g. within the biomass, process, petrochemical or waste-to-energy sector
• Experience from other consultancy or supplier companies is advantageous, but not required
• ​​​​​​​Leadership experience from a matrix organisation is advantageous, but not required
