Offshore industry potential? Interested in working in Denmark?

English is a prerequisite for our industry, but you don’t need to speak Danish in order to work for us. In fact we currently employ more than 15 different nationalities at our head office in Esbjerg.

Christoph Pahl and Stefan Soost are both German citizens working at Ramboll Oil & Gas’ head office in Esbjerg – both work in our Piping & Mechanical department.

Why did you come to Denmark?

“It was mostly a coincidence” Christoph explains. “I saw an ad in the paper and came to Esbjerg for an interview. It really opened my eyes to how big the offshore industry is in Denmark. Who knew that offshore has such a major influence on the Danish export?”. “In my case it was because I heard about the Danish working conditions and the company from Christoph,” Stefan smiles.

What convinced you to join Ramboll?

“I like the idea of working for a company which is owned by a foundation. Of course Ramboll aims to earn money, all companies do, but the money is spent on consolidating the company,” Christoph explains.

“The general tone in our department and the ‘flat’ hierarchy in the organisation in general is really nice. I basically manage my own projects – with the help of one of my senior colleagues, of course. We often work in teams, sometimes within the Piping & Mechanical department and sometimes across several departments depending on the project,” Stefan says. “The projects are always challenging and I have worked on both mechanical, piping and firewater projects. The variation is what makes my job interesting”.
