Senior Projektleder
Are you motivated by contributing to a sustainable future? Do you want to help us ensure that our new sustainable, electric trainsets are delivered as agreed with the supplier?
If so, please keep reading, as we are looking for a Senior Project Manager to join our team and ensure the success of one of our most strategically important and complex projects.
Welcome to the New Trains Program Several of Denmark's biggest investment programs are happening right now, and you will have a crucial role in ensuring a sustainable and attractive future for public transport in Denmark.
DSB is investing in several programs to ensure the Danes have an environmentally friendly and attractive alternative to cars, buses, and aircraft when travelling across Denmark.
In addition to the investment in the new fleet of electric trainsets, we are also investing in the acquisition of electric locomotives, coaches, new maintenance facilities, and an upgrade of the S-Bane into an automated system. It is more complex than it may sound, and it is exciting, meaningful, and requires some of the best skills from Denmark and abroad.
We work in a matrix organization where the rest of the project team will come from a skilled Center of Excellence, which has been established to ensure a smooth delivery of the major investment programs.
You will have comprehensive possibilities to develop as we are working in an international team with many different backgrounds, professions, and skills, and with a modern learning culture where feedback and lessons learned are highly prioritized.
Your everyday life as Senior Project Manager You will work with DSB’s largest and one of our most strategically important investments with a combined CAPEX and OPEX of around 20 bn. DKK.
We replace our aging fleet with new, reliable, and environmentally friendly trainsets. After years of preparation, political approval processes, and tendering, the winner was announced in the summer of 2021.
The winner – and the Supplier of our new fleet – is Alstom. Since the award of the contract in 2021, we have worked closely with Alstom, focusing on agreeing on the details related to the design, Alstom has produced a pre-series of trains and will start serial production shortly.
We monitor Alstom’s deliveries, obligations, and quality during all phases of the project. Additionally, we need to ensure that we are delivering on our own obligations and that we are ready to accept and put the new trainsets into commercial operations. This is exactly why we need you.
In addition to delivering the trainsets, Alstom is also responsible for the maintenance of the trainsets.
Networking and collaborating internally within the project are essential - as is the collaboration with the Supplier and with key stakeholders in the DSB line organization to ensure progress.
About the job You will have the complex task of ensuring the effective delivery of our project.
Your focus will be on the supply of the trainsets. This will involve close cooperation with your colleagues responsible for the new maintenance facilities, the implementation of the new maintenance model, as well as ensuring readiness within DSB’s internal organization.
You will become part of an international project team of around 65 colleagues. The working language is English. You will refer to the Project Director and Vice President, Pia Toft Pedersen.
