With operations in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland, we combine the strength of a Nordic organization with a strong local presence. We are currently in an exciting phase of development. NCC has entered into an agreement to sell Industry’s operations in Sweden and Norway to Heidelberg Materials, a leading global manufacturer of building materials. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed during the second half of 2027. Until then, the business will continue to operate as part of NCC.

• Knowledge of industrial production processes and plant technologies is considered an advantage
• Familiarity with environmental permitting processes and regulatory requirements
• Excellent communication skills in English; knowledge of a Nordic language is an advantage

Who You Are

You are a structured and results‑oriented project manager who enjoys turning complex plans into successful outcomes. You have a strong sense of ownership, build trust with stakeholders, and feel comfortable leading projects involving multiple disciplines and locations.
