About the job
Overall Project Manager - "Project CEO" (m/f/d)
Greater Zurich Area · Permanent Position · Immediate or by Arrangement
Extendis AG is the specialised recruitment consultancy for commercial and technical specialists and executives in the Greater Zurich Area. In the construction and real estate sector, both large general and total contractors as well as established, owner-managed construction companies and medium-sized specialists entrust us with their key positions - often before these are even publicly advertised.
For one of these clients - a financially sound company with a full project pipeline and an excellent reputation in the region - we are looking for a personality for the following role:
Your Role:
You bear full responsibility for demanding building construction projects - like a CEO for your project. You lead internal and external planning and execution teams, support the client, and ensure costs, quality, and deadlines. You optimise projects, develop economical solutions, are responsible for tenders, awards, and contractor negotiations, and contribute to acquisition and calculation.
Your Profile:
- Several years of experience in managing demanding building construction projects
- Construction-related education with relevant further training (project, construction or real estate management)
- Ideally experience with total or general contractors
- Entrepreneurial thinking, decisiveness, and negotiation skills
- Confident demeanour and enthusiasm for construction projects and team leadership
Leadership personality sought - potential counts. This employer deliberately also focuses on people who want to grow into such a role and take on leadership.
What to Expect:
- An employer with exceptionally low turnover - many employees have been on board for over ten years. That says more than any promise.
- Above-average social benefits: generous holiday arrangements, strong pension fund solution, full continued salary payment in case of illness/accident, fair regulations for parents.
- Substantial support for further training - both timewise and financially. Those who want to grow are supported.
- Modern infrastructure, digital processes, and projects to be proud of.
- Short decision-making paths, genuine personal responsibility, and a team that sticks together.
Interested?
We fill this position deliberately and discreetly. A confidential conversation with Extendis AG, Marc Thurner, is the first step - without obligation.
