With the climate crisis, it has become evident that the world needs dramatic and real action. But significant change calls for visions, bold commitment and knowledge. Our customers possess just that! To support their efforts in moving the green transition forward, Mannvit and COWI have joined forces, as Mannvit becomes part of our global consulting group.
We share strongholds in energy, infrastructure, environment, buildings and industry, as well as a common vision: Together, we shape a sustainable and liveable world. This vision implies that we aim to have 100% of our revenue come from projects that support the drive towards sustainability within the coming years. We kickstarted the journey by turning down fossil fuel projects from day one after the launch of our new strategy and vision.
Our customers and partners in Iceland will now be backed by our team of 8,000 specialists across the Nordic region, the UK, North America and Asia. Together, we will tap into the combined competencies of COWI and Mannvit in engineering, architecture, energy and the environment, including Mannvit’s expertise in geothermal energy and hydropower. This will enable us to co-create human-friendly solutions that will improve the quality of life for people today and many generations to come.

Joining our group means spending your workdays in a place where you can be you, together with colleagues who are always ready to offer a helping hand. Designing a future where people thrive and flourish drives us forward, and while we are very serious about what we do, we do not take ourselves too seriously.
You will become part of our global community of experts whom you can share knowledge with and learn from, and you get the opportunity to work across borders to turn challenges into more sustainable solutions.
Combined with a structured plan for your development, all of this will continuously help refine your skills and keep you – and us – at the forefront of the green transition.

”A lot goes into every street, path and bridge. All you have to do is look out the window to see something a transportation engineer has worked on. What is probably most rewarding in my job is knowing that we prevent accidents and perhaps even save lives.”
> Meet Hörð"When I started working within the field of engineering, I gained a completely different perspective on the profession. In reality, lighting design is much more about engineering and physics."
