Job description
Technology, sustainability and business development - are you ready to lead the shift in one of the world's most important industries?

Participating in projects and meetings - the role involves travel.
Your support
You are not alone. As a manager, you will have strong internal support from colleagues, management and a wide network within AFRY. You will have access to skilled consultants, technical resources and continuous competence development - so you can focus on developing both your team and our clients.
