Your key responsibilities will be to:

  • Take part in tender selection processes and other "Go-No-Go" decisions.
  • Develop and deliver proposal activities, ensuring high-quality submissions and presentations using COWI sales processes.
  • Participate in pricing and commercial condition discussions.
  • Act as Key Account Manager and take part in the development of new Key accounts.

Your skills. Our team.

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 relevant educational background (e.g., architecture, engineering, economics, administration, law) and experience working in the private segment.
  • Experience and knowledge from building projects.
  • Previous experience with long-term management of key client relationships and business development in Norway.

A place to work and so much more At COWI, we work together with our customers to shape a sustainable and livable world. We do it by applying our knowledge and curiosity – and sometimes even our courage – to create the solutions the world needs today to enable a better tomorrow. That is why we say no to fossil-based projects and aspire to have 100% of our revenue come from activities that move our customers towards sustainability.

We value differences and development and cultivate an environment of belonging and having fun. Because that is what brings out the best in you, at work and at home.

Before you apply
All you need to include in your application is your CV – no photo or application letter. At an interview, you can tell us everything we need to know about why you're interested in joining COWI. 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 English or Norwegian – whichever you prefer.

Diversity is fundamental to 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 forums. We do it because it is part of our values and because it is simply the right thing to do.
