Help shape the Future with Engineering Applications  

At COWI, we work on some of the world’s most exciting engineering projects, shaping sustainable societies and building innovative solutions for the future. Our Group IT department plays a vital role in enabling this mission, ensuring that our engineers worldwide have the tools and applications they need by delivering value to the business through professional IT support. You will join a team of 19 colleagues working from Denmark, Norway, and Lithuania. You will work out of our new Vilnius office, and you will report to the Head of Discipline for Engineering Software located in Denmark. With more than 7,500 employees across offices worldwide, you will collaborate daily with colleagues and users, and vendors across borders. 

The Engineering Software section is responsible for procuring, managing, and supporting COWI's global portfolio of technical software through its lifecycle. The portfolio contains BIM, CAD, and GIS software, with applications from more than 200 vendors, including Autodesk, Bentley, Trimble and ESRI. These business-critical applications enable high productivity across the company, representing millions of work hours annually, and they carry significant business and management focus. 

We are now looking for an Application Management Specialist to join our team and take ownership of a portfolio of engineering applications. 

Your primary responsibilities will include: 

• Manage a portfolio of engineering applications across their lifecycle, ensuring stability, security, and continuous improvement. 
• Act as the primary point of contact for your applications and work closely with IT service managers, vendors, users, and colleagues to ensure that applications support business needs effectively. 
• Plan, structure, and execute your own tasks independently while keeping stakeholders updated and involved. 

We are looking for someone who takes initiative, communicates clearly, and follows through, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You should be structured in managing your own work, able to complete tasks end to end, and comfortable collaborating across functions, with vendors, and with end users across regions. 

Your Skills. Our Team. Together, we design the future 

The first step to success in this role is that you are eager to collaborate with the people around you, whether they are colleagues, partners or customers. You build trust by delivering on your promises and communicating timely. And you don’t get set in your ways but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve. 

Experience with application management, IT service delivery, or engineering software is an advantage, but most importantly, you bring curiosity, responsibility, and a willingness to learn.

Furthermore, you should have

• A degree in IT or Engineering, with experience working in IT 
• Solid IT fundamentals, with experience in professional application management from a global organisation 
• Familiarity with the ITIL framework 
• Proficiency in English, both written and spoken

We strive to lead by example by embedding environmental management, social responsibility and good governance into our business practices and the options we provide to our customers.
