- Manage large-scale construction projects in a multi-stakeholder environment, supporting multinational clients in making value-driven decisions;

Where you will work

Our 6,000 colleagues are working from offices in more than 25 countries across the world. Through our mission Enhancing Society Together, we take responsibility for having a positive impact on the world. As our new Construction Manager Light Industry you will become part of the team Project Management & Consultancy.
The Project Management & Consultancy team consists of highly experienced and solution-oriented Project & Construction Managers and Consultants with extensive experience in large-scale, multidisciplinary projects in various sectors. Our goal is to achieve higher productivity and lower operating costs for our clients through technical optimization. Together with our clients, we place projects in a broader perspective. We have a clear vision of the built environment. The impact of the built environment goes beyond pure functionality and also touches on the quality of life. Recent innovations show up best in new buildings, and their benefits are measurable. But what about existing buildings? Renovating, refurbishing or converting existing buildings brings new challenges. And sustainable solutions require smart thinking.
Each project has its own individual challenges, its budgets, logistics, timing, materials or people. That is why we offer a dedicated and customized approach for each project. This way, we ensure that every project comes to a successful conclusion, from initial concept to final delivery.

Within this role we expect you to have excellent interpersonal and communication skills to effortlessly adjust yourself in an international and culturally diverse environment and be able to act as coach and mentor for other staff. You must be able to build and maintain a trusted advisor status at director level with clients. As an entrepreneur with strong business acumen and sound understanding of business financials with a clear market drive, a focus on clients and the client's network recognizing profitability and revenue potential in business opportunities.
