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?

Colliers Occupier Services covers five key service lines:

- Lease Transactions
- Workplace Advisory
- Technical Project Management
- Enterprise Clients
- Strategic Facilities Management advisory
