Norconsult is expanding its Renewable Energy business into a Nordic organisation, effective 2027. We are looking for a commercially driven, market-oriented, and inspiring leader who wants to play a key role in shaping the leading Nordic advisory environment within power systems and electrification.

The division consists of 200 employees across Sweden, Norway, Poland, and Iceland and forms a key part of Norconsult’s Renewable Energy business area, which brings together more than 700 professionals. With a strong market position and ambitious growth plans, the division is entering an exciting new phase of development.

You will report to the Executive Vice President of Renewable Energy, Håkon Bergsodden, and lead an organization with seven direct‑report managers.

As Divisional Director, you will have overall responsibility for the division’s strategy, market position, financial performance, and continued development. You will lead the business through local department managers and ensure collaboration, execution, and business development across countries.

The role has a strong focus on growth, customer relationships, and building the conditions for a high‑performing and competitive Nordic organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute the division’s strategy, market positioning, and growth agenda.


• Identify new business opportunities and drive both organic growth and acquisition initiatives.


• Lead, develop, and support managers across multiple countries.


• Build a unified culture and strengthen collaboration across borders.


• Ensure effective execution, prioritization, and operational follow‑up throughout the organization.


• Drive the division’s financial performance, profitability, and resource utilization.

Your Profile

You have extensive experience leading large, knowledge‑intensive teams and are motivated by building organizations, developing people, and delivering business results. You possess a strong understanding of the energy market and the trends shaping the future of electrification, grid expansion, and the energy transition.

You have a proven track record in complex sales, market and business development with a clear understanding of how strong customer relationships are transformed into sustainable long‑term growth.

To succeed in this role, you should have

• Experience developing and implementing market and business strategies.


• Strong expertise in power systems, transmission, distribution, and energy infrastructure.


• Proven results in sales, market development, and business growth.


• Experience with budget, profit and loss, and overall financial responsibility.


• Experience leading organizational change and transformation.


• A demonstrated ability to build strong teams and create results through other leaders.

As a leader, you are confident and clear in your approach, combining strategic vision with a strong ability to execute. You are commercial, decisive, and relationship‑oriented, with the ability to create engagement and direction within an international organization.

You thrive in times of change, have the courage to make difficult decisions when required, and can balance attention to detail with a broader strategic perspective. Above all, you are motivated by creating growth through people, customers, and strong collaboration.

The position can be based at any of our offices, although we prefer candidates located in Gothenburg or Stockholm. The role involves extensive travel across the Nordic region and internationally, and frequent travel should be expected.
