Expertise: Substantial experience in the planning and management of high-level road construction projects within the Swiss regulatory framework.
Leadership: A proven track record of coordinating multidisciplinary teams and navigating complex project processes according to Swiss standards.
Linguistic: Excellent German skills (both written and spoken) are essential for this role, as you will be the primary point of contact for public authorities.

Digital Excellence: Practical application and advancement of BIM (Building Information Modelling) within the infrastructure sector.
Sector Influence: Play a leading role in the strategic expansion of the firm’s national road construction business unit.
