jobbeskrivelse:

Are you a highly skilled geotechnical engineer who is specialised in seismic engineering and looking for your next challenge?  Then here is your chance to work on some of the world's most complex projects within the dynamic field of infrastructure and join our expanding global team of dedicated engineers.

COWI is a leading consultant group within engineering, economics and environmental science with 6,600 employees in offices across the world.  Since the 1930's, COWI has pushed the boundaries of bridge, tunnel and marine design through our involvement in some of the world's largest, most iconic and complex projects.

Our civil, structural and geotechnical engineering specialists are internationally renowned for their work.  In projects we always aim to incorporate innovative and sustainable solutions and push the boundaries of what is technically possible, such as designing the world’s deepest and longest subsea tunnel, engineering the world's longest suspension bridges in highly seismic regions, and creating resiliency by preparing our waterfronts and communities for ongoing climate change.

Owing to increased workload and development within our Marine and Geotechnical sector, we now seek to recruit a geotechnical seismic specialist to join our team of more than 50 Geotechnical Engineers at our head office in Lyngby.
