  • Monitor design progress, identify risks, and implement recovery strategies where required.
  • Facilitate design reviews and technical coordination meetings.
  • Oversee document control and design management processes.
  • Support BIM coordination and ensure seamless collaboration between design stakeholders.
  • Manage design changes and ensure effective communication across project teams.
  • Maintain a strong focus on quality, constructability, and project objectives.
  • Collaborate closely with construction, commercial, and project management teams.
  • Support strategic planning and continuous improvement initiatives within the design function

  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail.
  • Comfortable working in dynamic, fast-moving project environments.
  • Fluent English is essential, both written and spoken
  • Previous experience in a Design Manager, Design Coordinator, Lead Engineer, or similar role.
  • Knowledge of German is advantageous but not mandatory.
  • Project management experience within international organisations.
  • Experience leading engineering teams or coordinating multiple design disciplines.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
