And would you like to make a decisive impact on a global organisation? Then apply now to be COWI's next transformation director and lead us to new heights!
Drive the development and execution of tomorrow’s transformative projects.
COWI is undergoing a significant transformation, strengthening and streamlining our organisation to become more efficient and enable further investments in our employees, technology and innovative solutions. To accelerate the transformation and further enable the execution of COWI’s strategy, FUTURE-NOW, we are looking for a transformation director to join our Transformation Office team. You will collaborate closely with project teams across all functions in the organisation, key stakeholders within business development, digitalisation and sustainability, and our Executive Leadership Team.

At COWI, we collaborate with our customers to shape a sustainable and liveable 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.
With offices primarily located in the Nordic region, the UK, North America and India, we are currently more than 8,000 people who bring their expertise in engineering, architecture, energy and environment into play.
Got more questions?
If you have any unanswered questions about the role or what we have to offer, please reach out to Head of Transformation Office, Nicolas Jonard, at nsjd@cowi.com.
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.
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 fora. We do it because it is part of our values and because it is simply the right thing to do.
