All employees begin their career in COWI based on their professional skills. You must be a specialist within your field and be able to apply your knowledge together with your colleagues' specialist knowledge to the benefit of the customer.

The basis for your career in COWI is your ability to work on projects. We all work on large or small projects as project manager or project worker.

You build your career with us on top of your competences as project manager, consultant or specialist.

We have four well-defined, equal career paths in COWI that we continue to develop:

  • Project manager
  • Line manager
  • Professional and specialist
  • Business developer

You can change paths

You are not restricted to whichever of the four paths you choose. You may want different challenges at different times, so we have made it possible to change career paths.
