Architect as Construction Consultant

Would you like to apply your many years of experience as an architect where your professional assessment counts? As a construction consultant, you assess state- and fund-subsidised construction projects for the Canton of Zurich and advise the commissioning specialist directorates and offices, municipalities and private builders on demanding construction and construction-economic issues. In doing so, you combine your experience from planning and realisation with a confident eye for costs, quality and appropriate solutions.

Your tasks

• You assess a variety of construction projects of public and private builders – for example for special schools or children and youth homes – from a constructional and economic perspective.
• You examine, based on the applicable regulations in a multi-stage process, the prerequisites for state contributions as well as contributions from the lottery and cultural funds, thereby creating well-founded decision-making bases appropriate to the phase.
• You determine the spatial suitability of private schools, provide information to municipalities, private sponsors and specialist directorates on subsidised construction projects and promote the implementation of barrier-free construction also internally within the Building Office.
• You bring in your experience from planning and realisation, critically question solutions and suggest viable alternatives.
• You document your assessments in well-founded statements and expert reports that are appropriate to the level and comprehensible.

Your profile

• You have a completed degree in architecture (ETH/FH) and many years of professional experience in the planning and realisation of demanding, preferably also public construction projects.
• Thanks to your broad experience across all project phases, you assess construction solutions holistically and with a confident eye for quality, appropriateness and feasibility.
• You have sound knowledge in construction cost planning and assessment and understand the essential real estate economic contexts.
• You competently advise different stakeholders, communicate appropriately for the target audience and represent your professional assessment convincingly and comprehensibly.
• You have a confident command of German and can precisely express complex matters in writing.

You choose us,

because you want to apply your many years of experience in a versatile expert role and thus directly influence the quality of subsidised construction projects. As part of a small specialist team in the staff of the Building Office, you enjoy a high degree of professional freedom and gain insight into a wide variety of construction projects in the Canton of Zurich. At the same time, you benefit from a broad network and professional exchange with specialists within the Building Office.
