• Ensure everything follows the rules and standards (like DIN 14675, VDE 0833, VdS, MLAR).
• Advise customers on technical solutions, upgrades, and expansions.
• Document project progress and handle regular controlling and reporting.
• Organize training for the project team.
• Take part in the on-call rotation.

• Solid knowledge of the relevant standards (DIN 14675, VDE 0833, VdS, MLAR).
• Experience leading and coordinating project teams.
• Confident using project management tools; CAD and documentation system skills are a plus.
• A good head for business—experience with calculations, quoting, and managing extra costs.
• Strong communication and negotiation skills when dealing with clients and authorities.
• A structured, responsible, and solution-oriented way of working.
• High motivation to get projects successfully across the finish line.
• Fluent German (C1 level).
• A Class B driver’s license and willingness to travel within the region.
