You will coordinate the requirements of the owner, users, and operations, lead the project organisation on the client side, and manage collaboration with external planners and other project participants. Additionally, you will oversee competitions, planner procurement, and award procedures in accordance with public procurement law. You will monitor compliance with quality, costs, and deadlines, and prepare project budgets, decision-making bases, reports, and proposals for political bodies. Participation in investment planning and the further development of sustainable standards and processes will complete your range of duties.

For this responsible role, you have a tertiary-level qualification (FH, ETH, HF or equivalent) in architecture, civil engineering, building services engineering, or a related construction technical field. You bring solid experience in managing construction and planning projects and are well acquainted with the SIA project phases as well as planning and construction processes.
