• Act as a trusted advisor to a diverse client base
• Support and mentor junior team members
• Communicate effectively with all stakeholders throughout project delivery
• Work in line with Health & Safety and Quality Assurance policies

Essential

• Project management experience in construction or real estate
• Strong track record across both pre- and post-contract delivery
• Fluent English and German, with Swiss German strongly preferred
• A confident, client-facing communicator, comfortable working with high autonomy

• Working towards MAPM / MRICS / PRINCE2 or an equivalent qualification
• An additional Swiss national language (French or Italian)

• CHF 140,000 + Benefits
• Permanent position, based in Zurich
• Full Autonomy to manage Site/Office/Home presence
• Genuine autonomy and ownership from day one
