The posting

Do you enjoy working with data, economic analysis and solving complex problems? Can you turn numbers and insights into meaningful solutions that contribute to a more sustainable future? Are you looking to apply your academic knowledge to real-life projects while gaining valuable experience in a leading consulting company? Then you might be our new Economist Student Helper!

Create the solutions that will shape a better tomorrow

COWI is experiencing growing activity within sustainability, the environment, energy, demographics, transport and socioeconomic impact assessments. To further strengthen our team, we are looking for a student assistant to join our department. We are a team of fourteen colleagues, within life cycle assessments, sustainability and socio-economic analysis, who work closely with our clients on some of Denmark’s most significant projects across sectors. As a student assistant in the LCA, Sustainability and Socioeconomics department, you will have the opportunity to turn data and economic analysis into solutions to real societal challenges. You will gain insight into how we work with different types of clients, including ministries, government agencies and private companies.

As a student assistant at COWI, you will gain experience across a variety of projects and clients, expand your professional toolkit and build a solid foundation for your future career.

Furthermore, you will be responsible for:

  • Conducting data analysis and supporting economic modelling.
  • Contributing to proposal writing and the preparation of final client deliverables.
  • Assisting in report writing, research and presentation material
  • Tackling challenging problems that require creative thinking.
  • Being open to learning new software, tools and methods.
  • Managing tasks effectively and meeting deadlines.

Your skills. Our team. Together, we design the future.

The first step to success in this role is that you are eager to collaborate with the people around you, whether they are colleagues, partners or customers. Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. And you never get set in your ways but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.

Furthermore you should have:

  • A bachelors or masters degree in Economics, Political Science, Business Administration, Agricultural economics or similar field
  • Experience in economic and statistical analysis with an interest in green transition.
  • Advanced Excel proficiency and a well-developed quantitative skill set along with knowledge in Python
  • The ability to work and collaborate effectively within diverse, multi-disciplinary project teams
  • Effective communication skills, both written and verbal in Danish and English, with the ability to present technical findings clearly and professionally to colleagues and clients
  • Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office
  • Commitment to quality, precision and technical excellence

Working hours and flexibility

You will be employed on an hourly paid contract, with a standard working time of eight hours per week. We offer flexibility during exam periods, and there may also be periods when it would be beneficial if you could work additional hours.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
