Kolding, Denmark Vattenfall Full time

Om jobbet

Are you passionate about shaping a more sustainable future and would you like to play a key role in Vattenfall’s transition to cleaner energy? Do you want to help drive the development, construction, and operation of our offshore wind portfolio? Vattenfall is looking for a Senior Consent Manager to strengthen its Offshore Consenting team in Denmark.

The Offshore Consenting team is an international team with representation in all Vattenfall’s key markets. We are involved throughout the offshore wind value chain, from pre-tender, through the tendering phase, project delivery, and throughout the operational phase. We are responsible for securing permits for Vattenfall’s offshore wind portfolio, and for enabling permit compliance during project delivery and operations.

In Denmark, Vattenfall and its partners are operating 5 offshore wind farms, including the Vesterhav Nord and Syd projects that were fully commissioned this year. Beyond our current portfolio, we see significant potential for growth in this well-established and core offshore wind market.

What will you do?

As Senior Consent Manager in Offshore Wind, you will play a pivotal role in enabling our offshore wind projects in Denmark. You will act as a coordinator and problem solver within the organization, working together with different teams and disciplines. In addition, you will be a key contact person externally towards authorities. As Sr. Consent Manager you will have the opportunity to work across all stages of the project including project development, delivery and operations. Given our current portfolio composition in Denmark, the focus will be on enabling permit compliance for our operational assets.

Besides a strong content focus, a key part of the role will be to align with projects on their (future) needs and requirements, to proactively plan work and map resource needs, and to procure and manage flexible external (consultant) support as needed.

Your tasks may include:

Consenting Strategy

  • Analyse Consenting requirements, risks, and opportunities to support project selection;
  • Deliver and implement a Consenting Strategy in development projects to support bid preparation.
Obtain Consent

  • Understand, anticipate and communicate which permits, laws and regulations are applicable to our projects;
  • Ensure timely application for and receipt of permits needed to ensure our projects run smoothly.
Enable Consent Compliance

  • Actively track and manage our permit requirements and commitments;
  • Work with project teams and packages to enable full permit compliance of their respective scopes;
  • Engage with and report to permitting authorities (e.g. Energistyrelsen, Miljøstyrelsen, Søfartsstyrelsen) as required or beneficial to the project.
Steer Consent

  • Monitor and anticipate regulatory developments with a potential impact on our permits.
  • Contribute to regulatory developments directly through consultations, or via our industry associations or interest groups.

Who are you?

You have an analytical mindset coupled with strong project management, communication, and interpersonal skills. You can structure and process complex information and discern implications for our business. You can communicate clearly and with authority to stakeholders of varying backgrounds and seniority. Your project management skills enable you to plan and deliver at high quality within agreed timelines.

You have experience working in international and multidisciplinary teams and thrive in a dynamic environment, skillfully managing multiple tasks under tight deadlines. Your excellent interpersonal, communication, and stakeholder management skills allow you to build and maintain positive relationships across diverse teams. You can work well independently and in collaboration with others and have the dedication to see a task through despite challenges. Above all, you consistently prioritise health and safety in all aspects of your work.

You can have fun whilst being serious and are serious about having fun.

Next to this you bring:

  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in the fields of renewable energy, environmental science, sustainability, spatial planning, public administration or another relevant field;
  • Knowledge of (offshore) environmental and spatial planning regulations;
  • Ideally you have relevant professional experience (min. 3 - 5 years) in permit management for offshore wind projects in Denmark in a developer, governmental or consultant role;
  • Alternatively, you have gained (permit management) experience in other renewable energy, or other large infrastructure, industrial, or construction projects;
  • Strong project management skills;
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills in Danish (native or near-native) and English (full working proficiency).

Location

Kolding, hybrid.

Our offer

Remuneration will be based on your education and relevant work experience. In addition to your salary, we offer a comprehensive secondary benefits package, the most important components of which are:

  • A permanent position for 37 hours a week (3 months' probation period);
  • We offer you non-contractual bonus up to 6% of annual gross salary;
  • A company pension contribution of 10% of annual gross salary;
  • You receive a 2.5% holiday allowance of your annual gross salary;
  • 25 vacation days with 5 days extra after 9 months of service;
