If this sounds like you, we have an open position for a Lead / Senior Project Controller to oversee one of the largest projects in NNE's history.

Specifically, you will be part of our Project Controls Team, consisting of 25 highly skilled Senior Project Controllers and Project Controllers in Denmark and India, who supervise the controlling of the largest execution projects in NNE. We engage and interact with a variety of stakeholders. Regardless of which of these many stakeholders we face, our ambition is to take a wingman position: providing our stakeholders support in a manner that allows them a feeling of control and support. This requires a proactive mindset and approach to problem-solving and a high level of flexibility.
What we can offer:
