10+ years

As an Engineering Manager – Data and AI, you will lead and grow a world-class engineering team within our Digital Innovation Centre.

You will shape and nurture a team of specialists who deliver cutting-edge solutions for our business units, while fostering a culture of quality, collaboration, and continuous learning.

In this role, you are not directly assigned to project delivery but instead oversee the engineering discipline (vertical) in a matrix organization.

Your engineers will collaborate with various business-aligned product and project teams, while you focus on capability building, mentoring, demand management, and ensuring alignment to technical and quality standards.

In this all, you will collaborate with a Domain Architect – Data and AI, who will act as your technical peer.

You will also drive cross-functional initiatives — such as process improvement, skill development, and technology adoption — to continuously elevate our engineering maturity and impact.

At Stolt-Nielsen, we take Digital seriously.

As we are further building up our engineering practice, there is ample room for you to contribute, take initiative and shape the future of our ways of working and technology landscape.
