Project Manager with technical expertise for major water projects

Krüger Kaldnes is Veolia’s water technology expert in Norway. We deliver comprehensive solutions to municipalities and industry within wastewater treatment, rehabilitation, service, and in the future also water treatment, always with a strong focus on sustainability and the highest technical standards.

We are currently in the midst of a strategic and ambitious expansion of our Norwegian organization, strengthening our professional capacity and establishing a more robust local presence. Therefore, we are looking for colleagues who not only want to manage projects, but who are also eager to help shape and develop a growing department in Norway.

Are you an experienced project manager ready to lead large projects and deliver sustainable solutions for the future of water treatment? Do you want to combine your technical insight with strong project management and leadership skills? Then this is the position for you.

With us, you will become part of the team in Sandefjord while also collaborating closely with professional environments in Denmark and the rest of Veolia, with opportunities for both national and international cooperation.

Your responsibilities

As a project manager, you will be responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing projects from start to finish, in close dialogue with customers, partners, and your project team. You will be a key driver in ensuring that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the agreed quality standards, while also building and maintaining strong customer relationships.

Your main tasks will include:

• Leading the project team and motivating collaboration toward common goals
• Planning and managing technical design, production, and installation
• Monitoring project finances, contracts, quality, and risk management
• Participating in construction meetings and technical discussions to secure optimal solutions
• Maintaining professional cooperation with the project’s various stakeholders

We work with a modern project structure where quality, risk management, and commercial leadership are essential.

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking an experienced project manager with a technical background and 5–8 years of solid experience from consultancy or construction projects—preferably within water/wastewater treatment, aquaculture, or large-scale infrastructure projects. You have a systematic and holistic approach, able to combine structure and attention to detail with strong financial insight.

You are accustomed to assessing commercial risks, negotiating contracts, and collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders. As a leader, you motivate your project team and ensure progress, quality, and results.

We imagine that you have:

• A degree in process or mechanical engineering (bachelor or master)
• Experience managing complex projects
• Strong collaboration and negotiation skills, as well as a professional understanding of contracts
• Strong communication skills in Norwegian and English

What we offer

You will take on an exciting and varied role in a growing company with a strong focus on sustainability and the environment. You will be part of an inclusive, informal, and dedicated work environment where collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional pride are integral to everyday life.

You will have the opportunity to work on projects that make a real difference for the environment and future resources, while developing your own competencies through challenging tasks and strong opportunities for both professional and personal growth.

We emphasize your well-being and offer flexibility, enabling you to combine meaningful work with your private life.
