• Experience with compliance monitoring, investigations, risk assessments and the management of non-compliance cases.
• Experience coordinating or leading employees, teams or operational activities.
• Professional working proficiency in Danish and English.

You will also need integrity, discretion and strong professional judgement. You are comfortable working independently, balancing changing priorities and escalating significant issues when required.

• Coordinate onboarding and training of consultants, helping colleagues apply requirements consistently in their daily work.
• Monitor contractor performance, identify patterns and emerging risks, prepare timely reports.
• Help ensure that contractors, suppliers and their employees comply with applicable Danish labour legislation and Novo Nordisk Site Compliance requirements.

You will be reporting to the Head of Site Compliance, and your closest partners will include project organisations, Construction Health and Safety, Site Security, Category Owners, Communications, Project Management and other relevant site functions. You will also work directly with contractors and suppliers, bringing different perspectives together and creating clarity when requirements or priorities are complex.

What you can expect here

You will have the opportunity to shape how Site Compliance is delivered across major construction environments and to contribute directly to safer, fairer and more consistent ways of working. You will be trusted to use your expertise, take ownership and help colleagues solve compliance challenges.
