Ole Henseler 

Ole Henseler originally wanted to become an architect, but when he realised that he was more inclined towards numbers than drawing, he changed course and studied civil engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany. His professional expertise spans across environmental site assessment, contaminated site investigation, due diligence, management consulting and remediation design. His projects have taken him across Europe, the United Arab Emirates and the U.S.

Beyond his technical work, Ole Henseler trains the next generation of project managers at a professional level. He prepares his apprentices to get certified according to the standards of the International Project Management Association (IPMA) and the Project Management Institute (PMI), while guiding them through the intricacies of project management. For Ole Henseler, it is rewarding to share the tricks of the trade to help them find their way in the fast-moving and complex world of project management.

Ole Henseler values CDM Smith’s goal to enable every employee to realise their potential and apply their skills to benefit both CDM Smith and their clients. CDM Smith offers various career paths with targeted training and development programs, ensuring that expertise is utilized efficiently, continually developed, and shared. This approach also allows employees to find joy in their work by focusing on what they do best. For Ole Henseler, a successful project is one where the team truly understands the client’s needs (“listen”), plans an innovative solution (“think”), and implements it in a way that not only satisfies the client and ensures economic success but also leaves the team feeling fulfilled and energized by their work (“deliver”).
