Meet our Lead of Transport & Installation Strategy Development and learn more about how Anders enhanced his career as a leader.
Anders Præstholm Riisager’s journey in the renewable energy industry started with the interest and dedication from his master’s thesis to the complexities of supply chain performance. In search of a dynamic and progressive work environment within this, Anders found his match at Blue Power Partners, where he got a position as a consultant in the offshore department. Sooner, his dedication to the job led him to grow into the lead of Transport & Instillation Strategy Development.
BPP is the people
However, for Anders, Blue Power Partners is more than just a workplace where you can grow professionally. It is also an international company where a sustainable working environment with a strong balance and healthy working habits is sought. He experiences that freedom under responsibility is emphasized through the trust in the people:
“At Blue Power Partners, the core focus is on people – ensuring freedom within accountability. I experience a dedication to the international environment, where we learn how to collaborate seamlessly across diverse cultures and nationalities. In the past years, my journey at Blue Power Partners has not only revealed me to a meaningful industry to work in but also to continuous learning, development, and, most importantly, embracing new challenges in a vibrant and inclusive professional community.” – He adds.
Leading with trust
Shortly after his role as a consultant, Anders took on a substantial project, which earned him the responsibility of recruiting two junior analysts, further leading to continuous learning and growth for him.
Today, Anders is a Lead in Transport & Strategy Development, supporting various offshore projects. These projects range from small to significant, and as a lead, he plays a pivotal role in resource planning within these projects, making the job very vibrant for him:
“What makes the lead role in offshore truly exhilarating is the opportunity to engage with technical aspects while still integrating management duties. This establishes the groundwork for success across all offshore employees, fostering a collective sense of achievement rather than just individual accomplishment, which aligns with the entrepreneurial focus of our teamwork.”
In Anders’ leading position, the driving force is gained from achieving results that affect the green transition while benefiting the company and clients. Trust is a core focus in everything that is done in Blue Power Partners, and Anders sees that in his role as well:
“Personally, I experience getting out of my comfort zone and trying new hands-on tasks every day. It is evident through my team how much we trust each other and make room for everyone. We all work together as a whole, making the structure within the company very flat”.
Empowering the future
Anders has his sights set on gaining even further growth through more leadership experiences and driving development by stepping even more into a lead role. This role involves strengthening his leadership skills across each employee’s responsibilities and making strategic investments in the team, empowering individuals to enhance their own skills.
