- You lead an international team of around 30 project managers and construction experts.
- You oversee projects end-to-end – from initial feasibility studies to final acceptance.
- Throughout the entire project lifecycle, you coach and guide your project managers, ensuring smooth execution in terms of cost, schedule, and quality – with 100% target achievement as the benchmark.
- You work closely with internal clients, understand their business requirements, and translate these into technical solutions.
- You also challenge requirements where appropriate and develop economically sound alternatives that sustainably support business success.
- Together with your team, you prepare decision-ready investment proposals for various Siemens decision-making bodies (Siemens Real Estate, Siemens business units, and – depending on the investment volume – the Siemens Managing Board).
- You proactively identify risks, communicate them early, and initiate suitable mitigation measures.
- You drive the standardization of processes, methods, and tools for efficient project execution.
- You actively advance digitalization and sustainability in construction – for example, by identifying and integrating new technologies and materials.
Your Profile:
- Education
- You hold a university degree in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, architecture, or construction management.
- Experience & Skills
- You have many years of professional experience in construction project management – ideally with a focus on industrial facilities.
- You have international leadership experience in multicultural project organizations.
- You possess solid knowledge of construction and planning regulations – both nationally and internationally.
- With your confident presence at top management level and your strong communication skills, you build trust and influence decision-making processes.
- Ways of working
- You stand out through strong business sense, particularly in investment planning and contract management.
- You demonstrate the ability to successfully manage multiple complex projects across all phases.
- You question the status quo, identify improvement potential, and ensure that the department proactively adapts to changing conditions.
- Language Skills and Willingness to Travel

- You are willing to travel internationally, roughly 50%.
