Project Manager: Usage & Operations

We are an independent church community with almost 3,000 members in the Witikon district of the city of Zurich. To further develop our church grounds with a future-oriented approach and thus offer diverse uses for our community and the district in the long term, a structural development vision was defined within the framework of a study assignment and a planning partner was successfully appointed.

Tasks:

• Support and coordination of the project planning and construction process from the owner and user perspective
• Collaboration in the project management team together with the client representation and the general planner
• Further development of the operational concept for future uses together with internal and external user groups
• Representation of the interests of the church community
• Active assumption of the interface function between the building commission, the various user groups, the employees, and the internal working groups involved in the construction

Your profile:

• Competencies in operational organization and project management
• Experience in managing complex projects with many stakeholders
• Experience in accompanying construction projects is desirable
• Familiarity with church structures and identification with the Witikon church community
• Ability to involve different groups and participatively engage volunteers
• Communication skills and solution-oriented conflict management

Our profile:

• We are a lively church community rooted in the district, with a diverse range of offerings that actively shape the change in the district.
• We are a large, committed team of employees and volunteers, pastoral team and church council, and maintain appreciative communication and collaboration.
• We offer flexible working hours and short decision-making paths.
• From the fixed-term employment for the project duration (assumed: 4 years), a permanent position in a new role within the church community may arise by mutual agreement. (e.g. Head of Real Estate & Operations)
• Employment conditions and salary according to the guidelines of the Evangelical Reformed State Church
