NIRAS is strengthening the infrastructure sector with two new Senior Vice Presidents

Together we shape the future of global infrastructure

Christoffer Truelsen has been at NIRAS since 2019, and in his role as Vice President for MGTB (Marine, Geotechnic, Tunnels & Bridges), he achieved significant results in strengthening  NIRAS’ position both in Scandinavia and globally.

”Being appointed Senior Vice President for the infrastructure sector alongside Theis is incredibly rewarding. I am excited to continue expanding the business internationally while delivering project excellence for our clients. I am also proud to collaborate with such talented experts and  colleagues across borders, business units, and departments. Together and across, as one NIRAS-team, we will drive results and contribute to generating continued societal value through the realisation of increasingly larger and more complex projects,” says Christoffer Truelsen about his new role.

Theis Tarp Rasmussen started at NIRAS in 2009, and has been Senior Vice President for NIRAS in Norway since 2020, where he has built up the Norwegian business. Today, NIRAS has a strong market position in Norway in the infrastructure sector as well as the environmental and building sectors. 

”It’s very motivating to be appointed Senior Vice President of Infrastructure, and I look very much forward to growing the infrastructure business in Scandinavia and internationally and deliver even better projects to our clients, together with Christoffer. We are more than 350 engineering experts in the Infrastructure sector, and our joint dedication to achieved project excellence to our clients and effectively deliver on our strategic ambitions working seamlessly across NIRAS, is what makes our organisation truly exceptional,” says Theis Tarp Rasmussen.

Jens Brandt Bering, Executive Vice President about the announcement:

“I am very pleased that we can announce the shared leadership between Christoffer and Theis as Senior Vice Presidents for the infrastructure sector. Both Theis and Christoffer are driven by a strong purpose to grow the infrastructure sector and embrace value creation for our clients. They are both project and client centric in everything they do, and in that sense I see them as role models in NIRAS.”

Both Christoffer and Theis are committed to continuing to deliver project excellence to our clients through innovation, cross sectional collaboration and partnerships. We are confident that their joint leadership will strengthen our ability to deliver interdisciplinary projects and further solidify our position as leading advisors in global infrastructure.

Christoffer will focus primarily on NIRAS’s international infrastructure activities and will also be responsible for our markets within tunnels, bridges, and the maritime sector (TBM). Theis will primarily focus on NIRAS’s Scandinavian activities and take responsibility for NIRAS’s large-scale infrastructure transport market.
