Head of Project Steering Green Industry Transformation
The green industrial transition is driving a historic transformation of society and industry, creating significant economic, technological and environmental value. As one of NCC's business areas, Green Industry Transformation focuses on delivering large, complex and strategically important industrial and infrastructure projects that enable the green transition across the Nordics.
To support our continued growth and strengthen project delivery across an expanding portfolio, we are strengthening the Operational Development team within the Business Area. As part of this initiative, we are recruiting four new Head of roles that will play a central role throughout the project lifecycle – from early customer engagement and project development to project execution and continuous improvement.
As Head of Project Steering, you will have functional responsibility for your area across the Business Area. You will represent your function in customer discussions, support project teams and collaborate closely with colleagues across the organisation to create the conditions for successful project delivery.
This is not a traditional line management role with personnel responsibility. Instead, you will lead through expertise, collaboration and influence, helping projects succeed through strong functional support, capability building and cross-functional teamwork.
Together with the Operational Development team, you will contribute to delivering some of the largest industrial projects in the Nordics and play an important role in supporting successful project outcomes across the Business Area.
The Role and Key Responsibilities
As Head of Project Steering, you will lead the development, governance and continuous improvement of project governance structures, decision-making frameworks and steering models across NCC Green Industry Transformation.
You will play a central role in strengthening project delivery capabilities across the Business Area by ensuring that projects are established with the right prerequisites, governed consistently and supported by effective decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
The role spans the full project lifecycle. You will contribute to early customer dialogue and project development discussions, lead the continued development of the Project Steering function and its specialists, and ensure governance, assurance and continuous improvement throughout project execution. Through your functional leadership, you will help establish common ways of working, strengthen project delivery and support successful project outcomes across the Business Area.
Working as part of the Operational Development team, you will play a key role in implementing and continuously improving the Strategic Execution Model (SEM) – the common framework that defines how projects are established, governed, executed and followed up across the Business Area.
The position can be based in any of NCC’s Nordic locations. The role involves frequent travel across the Nordic region to support projects, stakeholders and business activities.
You will:
- Define and govern project governance structures, steering models and decision-making frameworks across the Business Area
- Support early project development and customer discussions from a project governance perspective
- Establish and develop project readiness, stage-gate and execution assurance processes
- Lead the onboarding, development and capability building of specialists within the Project Steering function
- Act as a key integrator between governance, planning, cost, risk and quality functions
Identify governance deviations and drive corrective actions and continuous improvement initiatives
-
Your experience and background
We believe you are an experienced functional leader with the ability to build capabilities, develop people and drive change in complex project environments.
You bring solid expertise in your field, but your greatest strength lies in your ability to translate knowledge into practical ways of working, create engagement and help others succeed. You are a strong communicator and facilitator who enjoys coaching specialists, developing individuals and teams, and helping organisations adopt new methods, standards and ways of working by creating understanding, engagement and commitment.
You have experience working in large and complex organisations and are comfortable working across functions, disciplines and stakeholder groups. You influence through expertise, communication and trust rather than formal authority, and combine strategic thinking with a pragmatic, hands-on approach.
Requested qualifications:
- Several years of experience working within large and complex industrial, infrastructure, construction or EPC environments
- Experience in developing, implementing and improving governance models, processes, methods or management systems
- Experience leading change and driving the adoption of new ways of working
- Demonstrated ability to coach, develop and onboard specialists and support teams through change and capability development
- Strong stakeholder management, communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to influence without formal line authority
- An academic degree equivalent to an MSc, or equivalent professional experience
- Fluent in English, both written and spoken
