- 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.
