Overall Project Manager Architecture (GLP) (80-100%)

About the job

As a driver, you keep an overview even in complex projects. You strengthen our project managers, steer demanding projects at a higher level, and bring quality, deadlines, costs, and customer interests into harmony.

As an independent family business, we are the first choice for the development and design of sustainable living spaces for tomorrow. We approach our projects with great passion and implement them with dedication. We offer our employees a variety of professionally exciting projects whose implementations go beyond the obvious. We operate in a dynamic environment that combines space for personal development and appreciation. 

For our Architecture division, we are looking for an entrepreneurial leader who holistically manages integral projects, develops project teams, and sustainably shapes customer relationships.

What you achieve

• You take on the leadership, coordination, and result responsibility for several demanding projects and ensure costs, deadlines, and quality together with the project managers.
• You lead, support, and coach the project managers and act as the higher-level escalation and support point in case of goal conflicts, resource shortages, or customer complaints.
• You strategically manage your project portfolio, recognise the need for action early, and coordinate resources and teams with the department heads and other GLPs.
• You secure and further develop standards, methods, and processes and strengthen collaboration and development within the project team.
• You keep an eye on the economic project status, ensure forward-looking controlling and invoicing, and manage project changes as well as fee supplements.
• You further develop customer relationships, identify market opportunities, position Rapp AG with relevant stakeholders, and successfully lead complex offers. You contribute to strategic and organisational development topics of the Architecture division.

The GLP function builds on the role of project manager. The operational project responsibility generally remains with the respective project managers; in exceptional cases, you take over project management and guide less experienced project managers.

What you bring

• University or university of applied sciences degree in architecture or a comparable qualification
• Several years of experience in managing complex architecture, overall management, or general planning projects as well as interdisciplinary teams
• Strong leadership, communication, and coaching skills as well as strategic and networked thinking
• Entrepreneurial and business understanding as well as solid experience in project controlling, contract management, and handling fee supplements
• Sound knowledge of the Swiss planning and construction sector, relevant SIA service specifications, and project execution across all service phases
• Negotiation skills, a convincing presence, high quality awareness, and a committed, solution-oriented working style
• Interest in innovation, digitalisation, and the further development of project management methods and work processes

What we offer you

• Challenging and versatile projects with great creative freedom
• A responsible key role between project management, department management, and division management
• The opportunity to actively further develop project managers, project teams, and our project management culture
• Independent work, short decision-making paths, and interdisciplinary collaboration in a respectful environment
• A solid introduction as well as individual professional and personal development opportunities
• Contemporary, flexible working conditions and support in balancing work, family, and leisure
