What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a fully remote, international role where I can bring my technical construction background to construction technology, implementation or consultancy.

I've delivered MEP projects and technical procurement for Ed. Züblin AG and Bühr Gebäudetechnik, spanning HVAC, cooling, plumbing, building controls and electrical engineering.

At Züblin, I manage end-to-end procurement of planning and subcontractor services for large-scale projects including Bonatzbau Stuttgart and CBT Frankfurt, with contract volumes exceeding €10M. I benchmark calculations against market developments, negotiate agreements and expand supplier networks.

Previously, I led healthcare, commercial and residential HVAC, plumbing and cooling projects valued at approximately €500K to €2M per trade package, including Charité Berlin. I'm looking to bring my technical construction background to a fully remote, international role in construction technology, implementation or consultancy.
