Job description

ROLE PURPOSE

The Senior Project Manager will lead delivery of Waste-to-Energy and related waste infrastructure projects in Singapore and the wider region. This is a "technical project manager" role: we expect our project managers to be strongly technically minded, to understand the engineering and commercial drivers, and to actively engage in the technical work - not just coordinate. The role combines (1) project management accountability (scope, schedule, budget, risk, quality), with (2) engineering design leadership, including coordinating and directing a multi-disciplinary engineering team and reviewing/challenging technical deliverables to ensure they are fit-for-purpose and compliant with project requirements. On projects where there is no separate Engineering/Design Manager, the Senior Project Manager is expected to assume design management responsibilities (design coordination, interfaces, integrated design schedule, cross-discipline alignment, and design reviews).

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

A) Project Management / Delivery Leadership

• Lead end-to-end delivery of assigned projects, including scope, schedule, budget, risk, quality, reporting and governance.
• Establish and maintain the project schedule (time and cost) and actively follow-up on progress, forecasts and key delivery risks.
• Mobilise and manage the Ramboll project team and sub-consultants (where applicable), including clear role definition, coordination, and performance management.
• Maintain an updated scope of work and ensure changes are controlled, communicated and implemented across the team.
• Manage project communications and stakeholder interfaces; prepare and lead project meetings and ensure actions are closed out.
• Prepare progress reports and provide clear, decision-ready recommendations to clients and internal leadership.
• Ensure project delivery is compliant with Ramboll quality management requirements, HSEQ expectations and professional standards.

B) Engineering Design Leadership

• Coordinate and lead a large multi-disciplinary engineering team to deliver design outputs to required quality and timelines.
• Hold full knowledge of contracted design scope and deliverables per phase and discipline; break scope into work/design packages with clear deliverables and accountabilities.
• Identify and manage design interfaces across disciplines and packages; close information gaps early to avoid rework and delays.
• Develop and drive an integrated design schedule aligned to interfaces, dependencies and agreed review/approval cycles.
• Plan and lead interdisciplinary design meetings and design reviews; ensure timely decisions and resolution of technical issues.
• Review and challenge engineering designs and contractor submissions (as applicable), ensuring compliance with requirements and clear technical justification for decisions.
• Manage design changes/variations, ensuring agreed changes are communicated across disciplines and reflected in deliverables, schedules and cost forecasts.
• Lead technical discussions with the client and project stakeholders to ensure the solution meets objectives, requirements and specifications.

C) Technical Advisory / Owner's Engineer / Procurement Support (as required by project stage)

• Support development of key project technical deliverables such as feasibility study report, due diligences, design basis and employer requirements/tender specifications (as applicable).
• Support technical aspects of EPC procurement and contracting, including tender clarifications and technical evaluations.
• Manage the design review process during project implementation, including review of design document packages and formal responses/acceptance workflows.
• Undertake site visits, inspections, and provide oversight of construction and commissioning activities where required by the project scope.

D) Client and Stakeholder Management

• Build and maintain strong client relationships and act as a trusted day-to-day point of contact on assigned projects.
• Coordinate effectively with internal discipline leads, global specialists, vendors, contractors and partners to drive delivery outcomes.
• Escalate key issues early and provide clear options and recommendations to support timely decisions.
