If this sounds interesting, or you’re curious to learn more, then this role could be a great opportunity. Join our Compliance, Sustainability and Transactions department as our new Advisor or Senior Advisor in EHS and Compliance and work with us to close the gap to a sustainable future.

You will also contribute to the development of Ramboll’s EHS management systems and compliance services, client relationships and market activities. Through Ramboll’s international professional network, you will have opportunities to collaborate with colleagues and clients across countries and support global deliveries.

Your key responsibilities will be:

• Lead EHS compliance audits and regulatory assessments for a variety of clients and industries
• Identify compliance gaps, operational risks and opportunities for improvement, and translate findings into practical solutions

We also believe you will thrive in this role if you work in a structured and analytical manner, are curious about our clients’ operations and can combine professional rigour with practical and actionable advice.
