Project Manager - Shape complex projects in a global engineering environment

As our new project manager, you will be responsible for defined sub-projects within larger projects as well as individual complete projects. You will collaborate closely with internal stakeholders across GEA, including Project Managers, Supply Chain, Engineering, Process Control, After Sales, and Quality Control, as well as colleagues in GEA offices abroad. Externally, you will work with suppliers and customers.

Your overall responsibility is to ensure that projects are executed and delivered according to time schedules, within budget, and in alignment with agreed deliverables. This includes maintaining ongoing dialogue with both internal and external stakeholders and ensuring that all project participants deliver as promised.

Specifically, you will:

• Have a technical understanding of process plants and take ownership of P&I Diagrams, layout reviews, functional specifications, fabrication drawings and technical calculations.

• Make both technical and commercial decisions throughout the project lifecycle.

• Participate in and drive phase gate meetings from project handover to delivery and commissioning on site.

• Report to management on project progress, including scheduling, budget, and financial updates, resource planning, and risk provisions.

We expect travel activity of up to 50 overnight stays per year, primarily to participate in inspections and commissioning.

We are looking for a colleague with a proactive and self-driven mindset, taking ownership of their deliverables and working in a structured and systematic way. You are comfortable working both independently and in cross-functional teams, and you thrive in an international environment with customer interaction.

Finally, we imagine that you:

• Hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering (e.g., Mechanical, Marine, Construction, or a similar technical discipline).

• Have 3-5 years of project management experience.

• Are able to work in a methodical way to ensure quality, efficiency and adherence to timelines.

• Are proactive and comfortable taking responsibility for assigned tasks and deliverables

• Are fluent in English (corporate language); Danish and/or additional languages are an advantage.
