Our region consists of nearly 300 employees who are driven by creating the sustainable urban building of the future. Perhaps you are also driven by development, innovation and finding the right partnerships and customers who want to develop with our help?
Now we are raising our sights and strengthening our organization by merging our market areas in Project Planning, Project Management and Project Development in the early stages in our market area Building & Project Solutions in the Upper South. We are creating new and better conditions to meet the market's expectations of us as suppliers of consulting services in Project Management, Project Planning, Sustainability and Digitization.
We are strengthening our expertise in handling multidisciplinary and complex assignments and increasing our quality in customer delivery. The strengthened organization in Buildings & BU South highlights our new PM Office and improves the existing project structure with a matrix organization of Service Owners.

This includes further developing the section's deliveries to customers and seeing what opportunities there are to specialize and/or broaden the competence of the group. The daily work will therefore include customer contacts, recruitment, product and business development.
