Project Engineer Façades

Function

How do you make complex façade details executable?

• As Project Engineer Façades you translate complex façade designs into a feasible, safe and high-quality execution on a large construction project in Leuven.
• You elaborate technical details of façade elements and align them with architects, engineering consultancies, the internal design department and specialist partners.
• Together with the project manager you monitor preparation, planning and progress, so that the site moves forward in an organised and financially controlled manner.
• You critically analyse execution methods and optimise them where this improves efficiency, quality or practical feasibility.
• You keep a precise track of the financial and administrative progress of your project component, including technical documents, records and agreements.
• For task risk analyses and safety measures you work together with the prevention adviser; inspections, safety rounds and follow-up actions also receive your attention.
• You actively support quality checks and follow up on deviations, complaints and inspections until a clear solution and correct registration is in place.
• From the site office you stay close to the execution: you switch smoothly between plans, consultations and day-to-day reality, and see your decisions become reality step by step.

Profile

Are you technically strong and practically minded?

• You have approximately 3 to 5 years of experience in structural project management, preferably with complex façades, façade elements or comparable technical construction details.
• A technical construction qualification or equivalent practical experience helps you to independently understand and assess plans, execution details and technical documentation.
• You combine technical precision with administrative structure: you keep schedules, records, budget information and quality documents well organised.
• You communicate clearly with project managers, architects, engineering consultancies, subcontractors and specialist partners, because good alignment directly contributes to smooth execution.
• You think practically, raise issues in a timely manner and actively promote safety, quality and collaboration on site. That combination makes you strong as a structural project engineer.
