Hi,

Although my initial urge was to pass around the tunnelling position available in Denmark, I have seen some additional interesting positions available at international units of COWI. Thus, while I am at it, I might include some of them here as well.

I have taken below some vital info (italics) about the job. Please go to the COWI page at the bottom link for the full and any updated information and above all on how to apply.

Thanks.
