OVERVIEW

To help acceleration of the alternative fuel transition, the Center is involved in several projects across the globe supporting the implementation of green corridors. Green corridors are shipping routes on which there are commercially operating ships using exclusively alternative fuels. In practice, a green corridor may be implemented in phases, where the use of alternative fuels evolves gradually, and design is made scalable to ensure flexibility and the realization of the green corridor. The Center has developed methodologies for both pre-feasibility and feasibility studies of green corridors, which all projects are following.

We are looking for an experienced project manager to take on responsibility for one or more green corridor projects. The preferred candidate will therefore be allocated min 80% to the Center for at least 12 months and take residence in Copenhagen during the assignment.
