Key responsibilities include:

  • Ensuring strict compliance with EHS, safety, and internal engineering standards

  • Translating internal safety requirements into actionable project execution plans

  • Conducting risk management, gate reviews, value engineering, and documentation

  • Coordinating with Procurement on contracts and sourcing strategy

  • Collaborating closely with technical standards, operations, and implementation teams

  • Providing coverage for the Project Engineering Manager during holidays or absences

  • Supporting additional project-related initiatives as required

What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications

  • Master's degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering or Automation Engineering

  • Several years of experience delivering CapEx projects in a manufacturing or industrial environment

  • Proven project management capability, including indirect leadership of project teams

  • Strong analytical skills with a structured, independent working style

  • Excellent communication skills and professional assertiveness

  • High level of teamwork and intercultural competence

  • Proficiency in MS Office and MS Project

  • Working knowledge of SAP

  • Business-fluent German (spoken and written)

  • Fluent English (spoken and written)

Preferred (Nice to Have)

  • Experience with process engineering and/or electrical investment projects

  • Basic knowledge of explosion protection and functional safety

  • Initial people or project leadership experience

What's Offered

  • Full-time role with strong long-term stability

  • Competitive compensation and full benefits package

  • Opportunity to work on high-impact, complex industrial projects

  • Collaborative, international working environment

  • Relocation support available for the right candidate

Who You'll Thrive Here

You'll excel in this role if you:

  • Take ownership and accountability seriously

  • Believe safety and engineering excellence go hand-in-hand

  • Enjoy managing complexity and multiple stakeholders

  • Communicate clearly across technical and non-technical teams

  • Want to make a measurable impact in a global industrial setting

Apply confidentially to learn more about this opportunity and discuss whether it aligns with your career goals.
