• Identify, assess, and mitigate scope risks; uphold Ramboll HSEQ requirements and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures across all deliverables.
• Serve as the primary day‑to‑day contact for client, subconsultants and third parties on your scope; escalate strategic matters to the Project Manager/Director.
• Prepare and present status updates, design reviews, and technical/management reports.
• Drive collaboration across internal disciplines, markets and geographies involved in projects.
• Champion Ramboll's core PM toolset.
• Coordinate and deliver work in close collaboration with international colleagues, leveraging Ramboll's global expertise and distributed project models.
