Your task: turning ideas into successful real estate projects

You represent the interests of the client in new builds, conversions, and renovations. Together with internal and external project partners, you develop viable solutions, prepare decisions, and keep costs, deadlines, and quality on track.

Do you already have experience on the client side? Here you can apply it with a great deal of personal responsibility.

• A confident eye for costs, deadlines, and quality
• Enjoyment in coordinating different stakeholders and finding solutions together
• An independent working style, economic understanding, and willingness to take responsibility
• Good German skills and the ability to represent concerns clearly and convincingly

You do not need to have already performed all tasks on the client side. What matters is your previous project experience, your understanding of the interaction of the parties involved, and your motivation to develop further in this direction.

What you can look forward to

• Versatile residential and commercial projects that you actively help shape
• Insights and influence already in early project phases
• Responsibility beyond individual planning or construction phases
• Direct collaboration with owners, investors, and decision-makers
• Scope for your ideas and expertise
