About the job
Deutsche Bahn is not only one of the most important mobility service providers but also one of the largest engineering firms in Germany. To realise and maintain new bridges, tunnels, stations, tracks, and signalling systems, more than 10,000 engineers currently work with us – far from enough. As an engineer at Deutsche Bahn, you can plan, manage, or supervise something that lasts: the infrastructure for future generations.
We are looking for you as Head of Construction Supervision (m/f/d) for DB InfraGO AG at the Freiburg im Breisgau location as soon as possible.
This role does not allow for hybrid working. The daily work will be carried out at the designated office location.
Your tasks:
- You will lead your team of construction supervisors both professionally and disciplinarily, managing recruitment, qualification, and deployment of your employees
- You ensure the monitoring of costs, deadlines, and quality by your team, ensure contract fulfilment by contractors, approve invoices, take measures to avoid additional claims, and coordinate acceptance, inspection services, and remaining services
- Together with your employees, you ensure a safe construction process and make sure that no hazards arise for railway operations
- You develop the work area further, taking into account the company’s strategic goals and the Freiburg network
Your profile:
- You have successfully completed a (technical) university or college degree in engineering or industrial engineering, or a Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in a technical discipline, or comparable qualifications
- As a leader, you also see yourself as a coach for your younger, developing team and are keen to further develop the organisational unit
- You are a trained railway construction supervisor, project manager with several years of relevant professional experience in railway infrastructure, construction operations coordinator, district manager IH, or have experience in similarly relevant roles
- In your role, you gladly take responsibility, show initiative, and impress with a strong awareness of deadlines, costs, and quality
- Your communication skills allow you to act appropriately and solution-oriented in a wide variety of contexts
