The accession of 230 highly competent water experts from OBG will make Ramboll’s global water team grow to more than 1000 consultants located in more than 60 offices in 10 countries. This means more competence, scalability and flexibility to support clients all over the world.

“Joining forces with OBG enables us to provide the full range of our services in North America. OBG’s water team also brings in more innovation power and make us able to set even stronger project teams for the largest and most demanding projects on a global scale. Thereby, the merger will benefit clients in both US and the rest of the world,” says Hanne Christensen, Managing Director, Ramboll Water.

OBG is serving both public and industrial clients in the US and has established long-term relationships with public clients such as NYC DEP, DC Water and several Fortune 100 industrial clients. The project portfolio includes the world's largest advanced wastewater treatment plant in Washington, D.C.  

Meeting a growing demand for international expertise

Ramboll’s water consultancy services are provided by four international divisions; Climate Adaptation & Landscape Architecture, Water & Wastewater Treatment, Water Resource Management and Water & Wastewater Networks. All of them will now be solidly represented in North America.

Jeff Rogers, current Chief of Operations in OBG, will take up the positions as Director for Water & Wastewater Treatment and Country Market Director for Water in North America, and he is looking forward to his new role: 

 “Being part of a global water team will enable us to meet a growing demand from existing clients in North America for bringing in international expertise. I am strongly convinced that the integration will be a success and benefit our clients, because our cultures are very similar and based on strong competence and dedication,” says Jeff Rogers. 

The water team from OBG will be a formal part of Ramboll Water as of 1st January 2019.
