JOB DESCRIPTION

Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, Denmark
Coastal engineering is both your passion and excellence, combined with the desire to make a positive impact on the nearshore environment - we have the inspiring projects – lets close the gap for a sustainable future together! We invite you to bring your profound COSTAL and MARINE engineering expertise into play, taking on technical development and project expert responsibilities, contributing to innovation and high-quality design solution. Do you want to challenge status quo, bring nature inclusive design into play and inspirer younger colleagues to combine hydraulic knowledge, coastal design and MetOcean expertise to shape a sustainable future in the coastal zone? You have the competences – we will bring them into play - lets shape a resilient future together! To succeed in this role, you must have extensive experience in the technical areas of coastal engineering, flood protection, hydraulic modelling and MetOcean analysis from projects of coastal protection, beach design, complex marine jobs and the Offshore Wind industry. You are eager to add value to people, clients, the society, and our business, and would like to be a role model for younger staff and cooperation partners.
If this sounds like you, or you’re curious to learn more, then this role could be the perfect opportunity. Join our Ports, Marine and Coastal Department as our new Senior Coastal Engineer and work with us to close the gap to a sustainable future.

As our new Chief Coastal Engineer, you will join a highly recognized marine team, with excellent collaboration with municipalities, contractors, port owners and renewable developers worldwide. You will be part of a diverse international department of over 40 coastal and port engineers and can freely choose your main office location between Copenhagen, Aarhus an Aalborg, and work on major coastal and marine projects across all stages from planning to detailed design together with our team of highly engaged and specialized engineers throughout Ramboll. As Chief Coastal Engineer you will take part in the management team and develop both strategy and staff competences in the field of coastal engineering.
We have a strong pipeline of national and international coastal and marine projects with a determined focus to make the marine world future -fit.
Currently we are leading several major coastal and marine projects in Europe and overseas, ensuring climate resilience, flood protection and the blue-green energy transition. Major marine projects as i.e. Copenhagen Flood Protection and Gdansk Terminal need thorough coastal engineering competences, where you can bring your full spectrum of experiences into play.
Join us in doing what we are great at – together we can shape the blue world and support the green energy transition and create a climate resilient future.
Our department works with a broad spectrum of coastal and marine projects, from feasibility studies, EIAs, Port planning, to design and supervision.

• Managing numerical modelling tasks for waves, water levels, currents, sediment transport, etc. using state of art software as MIKE
• Managing met-ocean analysis of waves, currents and water levels to establish design conditions for both coastal and offshore projects.
• Design tasks using state-of-the-art coastal engineering methods to address problems related to marine structures and climate change
• Hydraulic design of water intake and outfalls structures.
• Preparation of technical documents (reports, drawings, specifications)
• Engaging and interacting with other team members in a multi-disciplinary team
• Drive the development and innovation of our hydraulic modelling excellence
• Take responsibility for technical project delivery as discipline lead/design manager
