Your employer

At DAHLEM, around 190 employees are involved in national and international projects for livable cities and healthy waterways. Our engineering office designs sewage treatment plants, canals, dikes, supply lines, creates flood or heavy rain hazard maps, and much more at six locations.

Since 1937, we have been responsible for civil engineering projects in the field of urban water management and know that the consumption of energy and raw materials must be balanced. To this end, we enthusiastically develop solutions that improve living spaces for us and for future generations.

Would you like to do more than just support our international projects—would you like to actively manage and take ownership of them? Then you’ve come to the right place.

As a Project Manager (m/f/d) in an international setting, you’ll assume overall responsibility for challenging projects in the areas of water supply and wastewater management within the context of urban water management. You’ll combine technical expertise with business acumen and successfully guide projects through varying conditions and project phases.
