Head of Cost Management Green Industry Transformation

Head of Cost Management 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 Cost Management, you will have functional responsibility for your area across the Business Area. You will represent your function in customer dialogues, support project teams and collaborate closely with colleagues across the organisation to create 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 Cost Management, you will lead the development, governance and continuous improvement of cost management methodologies, cost estimation, cost control and forecasting across NCC Green Industry Transformation.

You will play a key role in strengthening commercial performance and ensuring that projects are supported by reliable, transparent and decision-grade cost information throughout the project lifecycle.

The role spans the full project lifecycle. You will contribute to early customer dialogue and project development activities, lead the continued development of the Cost Management 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 commercial performance and support successful project outcomes across the Business Area.

Requested qualifications

• Several years of experience in cost management, project controls, commercial management or related disciplines within large and complex industrial, infrastructure, construction or EPC environments

• Experience in developing, implementing and improving cost management methodologies, governance models, processes or management systems

• Experience leading change, developing people and supporting the adoption of new ways of working

• Strong stakeholder management, communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to influence without formal line authority

• An academic degree in Engineering, Economics, Business Administration or another relevant discipline, or equivalent professional experience

• Fluent in English, both written and spoken.
