Do you want to shape innovative and sustainable design solutions for buildings and industry projects? Can you lead technical teams and ensure high-quality project delivery? And are you motivated by close collaborations with clients and stakeholders? Then, bring your knowledge and passion to drive impactful projects

About us
We believe that, with a strong sense of community, knowledge sharing and collaboration, we can create and develop the cities of the future. We seek to understand the context, consider the needs of society and are always in dialogue with the client, the end users and our partners. Our Teams work across borders and draw on a spectrum of competences to create buildable, user-friendly, sustainable, and aesthetically appealing projects that create value for both clients and end-users.

About the position
As Project Design Manager (Projekteringsleder), you will have the opportunity to solve complex tasks in close collaboration with your project team. You will be responsible for a wide range of tasks from preparing and following up on schedules and finances, meetings with the client, authorities, and consultants, and ensuring that deadlines, milestones and project quality are met. Effective communication will be critical to your role. Therefore, you will be expected to actively support and promote good internal and external collaboration. You must develop a well-functioning project team based on knowledge of the team's multidisciplinary fields and utilise the team's competencies in the best possible way.

You will have an important role in the project team, where you must be able to navigate the challenges and changes that may arise, proactively assisting your colleagues and other consultants to ensure the best solutions at the right quality, time and cost.

Arkitema actively supports and develops the discipline of design management through forums for Design Managers, tailored internal training, and the development of new digital tools and quality systems.

Your key responsibilities will be:

  • Safeguarding the client’s interests with regards to the project’s schedule, budget and quality requirements
  • Overseeing the design process to ensure alignment with client requirements and regulations
  • Communicating effectively with clients, contractors, and project stakeholders to clarify design expectations and progress
  • Ensuring a good and trusting work environment with everyone involved
  • Coordinating with technical teams to develop integrated design solutions
  • Implementing design standards and ensuring quality control throughout the design process
  • Conducting design reviews to meet functional and aesthetic criteria

To succeed in this Project Design Manager position, a few things are crucial:
The first step to success in this role is to be eager to collaborate with the people around you, whether they are colleagues, partners or customers. Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. And you never get set in your ways but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.

On top of that, you will have:

  • A degree in architecture, architectural technology or constructing architecture
  • Extensive experience in project- and design management or related areas in the building and industrial construction sector
  • Good negotiation and conflict management skills
  • Familiarity with Danish construction law, consulting law and contractual agreements (e.g. AB18 – General conditions for building and construction works and supplies)
  • Knowledge of BIM, IKT, and an understanding of client requirements in relation to digital processes
  • Knowledge of tendering processes according to The Tender Act and the Public Procurement Act
  • Experience with quality assurance and documentation of processes

Our employees are our most important asset - that's why we focus on you
Arkitema is a knowledge-based company that relies on the best and most committed employees. Therefore, we invest in the professional and personal development of our employees. We have several internal training courses, which have been developed to ensure that everyone at Arkitema can rely on the latest knowledge in their field. In this way, we will create the optimal framework for your development. We also promote a sense of community and collective belonging in the company through professional and social events.

Before you apply:
All you need to include in your application is your CV and portfolio – no photo or application letter. At an interview, you can tell us everything we need to know about why you’re interested in joining Arkitema. As for the photo, we prefer to form our first impression in person rather than from a picture. We are happy to receive your CV in Danish or English – whichever you prefer. We will invite potential applicants for interviews continuously.

Diversity is fundamental to Arkitema/COWI - inclusion is key
We are committed to creating a respectful and fair work environment where all employees have a sense of belonging and equitable opportunities to thrive and grow. We ensure that our leaders are role models for inclusive leadership by cultivating a culture where diverse perspectives and thoughts are seen as strengths. And we take diversity and inclusion into account in all relevant decisions and processes and when setting teams and fora. We do it because it is part of our values and because it is simply the right thing to do.
