In Denmark, Colliers is by far the largest and most experienced commercial and investment property adviser. We offer national coverage with some 160 professionals working from offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense and Vejle.

Are you a commercially minded advisor who thrives on creating client impact and ready to lead a high-performing team? Do you enjoy combining strategic leadership with hands-on delivery?

Our client base consists of corporate occupiers and tenants across all industries. We work side-by-side with clients - often embedded in their organizations - to deliver long-term, high-impact outcomes.

Colliers Occupier Services covers five key service lines:

• Lease Transactions,
• Workplace Advisory,
• Technical Project Management,
