Copy of Project Engineer (w/m/d) - Smart Building

About us
At aedifion, you play an active role in shaping the future of energy-efficient building operations. Our mission is to make existing buildings smarter, more sustainable and simpler - and thereby make a real contribution to CO₂ reduction.
You will work in an innovative tech company that uses cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, AI and cloud solutions to create sustainable real estate. Our culture? Open, diverse and team-oriented. With almost 90 colleagues from 12 nations, we combine a wide range of specialist areas and perspectives to achieve great things together. Your impact in this position:
As a Project Engineer (f/m/d) – Native French Speaker, you will take responsibility for complex customer projects and oversee them throughout the entire project lifecycle – from the initial phase to optimization and support.

Your challenge will be to coordinate a wide range of stakeholders, align technical and strategic requirements, and ensure the efficient and sustainable operation of buildings. In this role, you are not only the technical point of contact but also a problem solver who develops innovative solutions and meets customer expectations.

Additionally, you will support our expansion into France by managing initial projects in French (C1 level). In the early stages, occasional travel to France will be required to support customers on-site and ensure the successful implementation of projects. Furthermore, you will advise our sales colleagues on technical matters, actively contributing to the acquisition of new customers. What you can expect:

• Autonomy: You independently take on customer projects and support the sustainable optimization of building operations.

• Project Coordination: You manage internal and external projects across teams and departments – always aiming to achieve optimal results.

• Project Management: You are responsible for the efficient management of processes and ensure that all stakeholders are kept informed at all times.

• Interface Work: As a central point of contact, you collaborate with asset, property, and facility managers, partners, and other stakeholders.

• Product Development / Process Optimization: Your feedback actively contributes to the further development of our solutions, continuously improving and future-proofing our processes and tools.

• Technical Consulting: You support our sales colleagues with technical questions, helping to convince potential customers.

• Communication: You translate complex issues into understandable terms and ensure transparent information flow between customers and internal teams.

• Willingness to Travel: In the initial phase, you are willing to occasionally travel to France to support customer projects on-site and ensure successful implementations.

What you bring along:

• Fachliche Qualifikation: Ein abgeschlossenes Studium in Gebäudetechnik, Energiesystemen, Maschinenbau oder eine vergleichbare Ausbildung.

• Erfahrung: Du hast ein erstes Verständnis oder bereits praktische Erfahrung in der Technischen Gebäudeausrüstung (TGA) – idealerweise hast du auch schon Projekte begleitet oder verantwortet.

• Projektmanagement-Skills: Erste Erfahrung in der eigenständigen Koordination von Projekten oder im Projektmanagement.

• Arbeitsweise: Eigenverantwortung, strukturierte Arbeitsweise und die Fähigkeit, in einem dynamischen, projektorientierten Umfeld zu arbeiten.

• Technisches Know-how: Erste Kenntnisse in der Gebäudetechnik solltest du mitbringen. AMEV 2020 oder VDI 6041 sind kein Muss – wir unterstützen dich dabei, dich in diese Themen einzuarbeiten.

• Sprachen: Fließende Deutsch- und Englischkenntnisse sind erforderlich; Französisch auf C1-Niveau ist ein Muss, um unsere Expansion nach Frankreich aktiv zu unterstützen. 

• Tools: Gute MS-Office-Kenntnisse; erste Berührungspunkte mit Jira, Salesforce oder Confluence sind von Vorteil.

• Mindset: Neugier, Lernbereitschaft und der Wunsch, in einer offenen und vielfältigen Unternehmenskultur zu wachsen.
