Sewage treatment plants and urban drainage facilities are among the most demanding infrastructure projects: they combine civil and structural engineering, structural design, process engineering, mechanical engineering and building services – often during ongoing operation and under high demands on quality, deadlines and costs.

- Coordinate interdisciplinary project teams and manage interfaces with structural design, process engineering, architecture, mechanical engineering, building services and EMSR
- Advise and support our clients and represent the projects vis-à-vis clients, authorities, planning participants and executing companies across all SIA planning phases
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM US:
- A well-coordinated and experienced team
- Complex projects with technical demands and impact
- Freedom for initiative and responsibility
- Interdisciplinary collaboration on equal footing
- Promotion of your individual strengths
- Flexible and contemporary working models
YOUR PROFILE:
