Places influence people's quality of life-whether it's housing, shops, workplaces, schools, hospitals, businesses, research and development facilities, or data and distribution centers. People and communities thrive when their living, working, recreational, and play spaces are designed and operated to best meet their needs.

Role accountabilities:

As an Senior MEP Project Manager (f/m/d), you play a key role in the planning, management, and successful delivery of complex data center and high-tech projects. You are the driving force behind the efficient integration of mechanical, building services, and utility systems (MEP/BAS), ensuring all technical solutions meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Working closely with clients, internal departments, and external partners, you significantly contribute to the overall project success.

• Lead and manage the end-to-end MEP planning and execution processes in demanding data center projects.
• Build and maintain sustainable, trust-based client relationships as the primary point of contact.
• Coordinate and integrate multidisciplinary teams across planning, design, and execution to achieve optimal technical and commercial project objectives.
• Ensure timely, budget-compliant, and high-quality implementation of all MEP systems in accordance with current standards and industry-specific requirements, e.g., DIN EN50600.
• Foster solution-oriented collaboration among clients, specialist planners, contractors, and execution teams.
• Take responsibility for technical coordination, change order management, and reporting to project management and stakeholders.
• Utilize modern planning methodologies (e.g., BIM) and digital tools to optimize processes and ensure quality assurance.
• Support and develop colleagues across multiple locations, promoting a culture of teamwork, innovation, and continuous improvement.

Qualifications & Experience:

First and foremost, you share our passion for improving quality of life and for customer satisfaction. You take pride in the role you play in reshaping the world around you and understand the importance of teamwork. You are technically skilled, have relevant experience in managing building and infrastructure projects, and bring with you:

• Degree (Bachelor's, Master's, or equivalent) in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Real Estate Management, Architecture, Construction Engineering, or a related technical field.
• At least 6 years of project management experience with substantial responsibility as a project-leading architect or construction engineer, preferably in data centers or large-scale infrastructure projects.
• Proven track record in delivering complex national and international industrial construction projects, ideally within high-tech, data center, or semiconductor sectors.
• Strong expertise in MEP systems and their critical role in ensuring project efficiency, scalability, and compliance.
• Exceptional diplomatic skills and a professional demeanor with the ability to manage client relationships and stakeholder expectations effectively.
• Independent, goal-oriented working style combined with excellent teamwork and communication skills.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to oversee and coordinate complex design and execution processes.
• Fluent German and English skills, both written and spoken, are essential.
• Willingness to travel regularly within Germany and abroad according to project requirements.
