As part of our rapid growth, we are looking for a Project Manager - Switchgear Construction (m/f/d) to support our railway power supply projects across Germany. Join our dynamic team and grow with us. We offer attractive career development opportunities, continuous learning, and professional training programs.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Overall responsibility for the technical, schedule-related, and commercial execution of switchgear projects, from planning through to on-site commissioning.
  • Supervision as well as technical and organizational leadership of DC power supply systems within the Sécheron Hasler Group, from the planning phase through to commissioning on site.
  • Acting as the main interface between customers across Germany and the international project team.
  • Technical coordination with design, engineering, and commissioning teams.
  • Procurement and management of subcontracted services and subcontractors.
  • Coordination of customer factory acceptance tests (FAT) at the Prague facility and site acceptance activities at construction sites.
  • Quality management, including the assessment, monitoring, and documentation of project risks, as well as the implementation of mitigation measures.
  • Schedule planning, cost estimation, project controlling, and reporting to department management.
  • Customer relationship management, claim management, and change management.

Requirements

  • University degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a comparable qualification. Alternatively: further education as a State-Certified Technician or Master Electrician with proven project management experience.
  • Knowledge of switchgear design, electrical plant construction (medium-/high-voltage systems), protection systems, and ideally secondary engineering.

  • Excellent communication and commercial skills.
  • Experience in leading project teams, contract management, claim management, and billing/progress payment procedures.
  • Proven ability to coordinate project phases professionally and on schedule, including tender preparation, project planning, procurement, execution, commissioning, and final acceptance.
  • You are characterized by a highly independent, flexible, and reliable working style and can perform effectively under pressure. In addition, you possess strong negotiation, influencing, and decision-making skills.
  • Good German and English.
  • Willingness to travel throughout Germany and occasionally internationally.

An additional advantage would be:

  • Experience working with grid operators, municipal utilities, or railway power supply systems.
  • Knowledge of relevant standards and regulations, particularly VOB, HOAI, and VDE guidelines.
  • Basic knowledge of automation technology; experience with IEC 61850 is a strong advantage.
  • Proven experience in the professional and timely coordination of suppliers and external partners.
  • Proficiency in EPLAN and AutoCAD.
  • Confident use of Microsoft Office, project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Primavera), and ideally Oracle and SAP.

Benefits

  • Flexible working hours and the possibility to work from home.
  • Competitive compensation package.

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

That is how we know which CVs get called.
