A global leader in the chemicals and advanced materials industry is seeking a Senior Project Engineer (Electrical / Automation) to support large-scale capital investment projects at a flagship manufacturing site in Leverkusen.

This role is ideal for an experienced project engineer who thrives in complex industrial environments, values safety above all else, and wants to lead impactful projects from concept through commissioning—while collaborating with international teams and stakeholders.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Preparing investment applications, cost estimates, schedules, and project reports

  • 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
