Head of Execution Planning & Project Management, m/f/d (80-100%)

Elevate Development AG is a new subsidiary of the Crowdhouse Group and realises its own development projects from its location in Pfäffikon SZ. New company, but not a new culture! Just like at Crowdhouse, we at Elevate Development AG are naturally rebellious and do not shy away from questioning the status quo. After pioneering the co-ownership model, we are now entering the general contractor/specialist contractor sector with the development and implementation of demanding and architecturally high-quality projects.

Join a young, dynamic and ambitious team that is eager and wants to offer real added value to the construction industry. And no, we are not a stuffy development company – a fun working environment is as much part of our DNA as our drive for success.

Become part of our success story! We look forward to your application.
