Construction Engineer with Focus on Design Management at COBAB

Performiq AB · Full-time

Hammarbybacken 31 , Stockholm, Sweden

Job Description & Offer Do you want to take the next step in your career and develop toward design management leadership? Do you have a few years of experience from the construction or consulting industry and thrive best when combining technical expertise, problem-solving and coordination with driving people and initiatives forward? COBAB is now seeking a Construction Engineer with a focus on design management. This is a role for someone who wants to work closely with projects and progressively take on greater responsibility for coordinating and driving the design process. At COBAB, you'll have the opportunity to work broadly and develop based on your strengths and ambitions. You won't step into a fixed role where tasks look exactly the same year after year. Instead, the goal is to find someone with the right potential, drive and technical understanding who can grow with COBAB in design management and project management. You are offered, among other things: • A developmental role with a clear focus on design management leadership • Opportunity to work closely with both production, project management and technical consultants • Great opportunity to influence your own development and over time take on greater responsibility • Varying and complex construction projects where collaboration is central • An organization with short decision paths and the opportunity to work more broadly than in many larger construction companies About the Role As a construction engineer, you become an important part of the project organization and work closely with the project manager, site manager and other functions in the project. A central part of the position will be working with design and design management. You help coordinate the design process and ensure that different technical disciplines work together and that issues are driven all the way to resolution. This includes, among other things, that you will: • Coordinate designers, structural engineers, architects and MEP consultants • Participate in and progressively lead design meetings • Drive issues and schedules within design • Ensure that drawings and technical documentation are reviewed by the right functions • Follow up on open issues and ensure that decisions are implemented in practice • Contribute to ensuring that technical solutions work from both a design and production perspective • Create good dialogue between design, production, client and subcontractors The role is also broader than pure design management. Depending on the project, experience and interests, you may also work with areas such as budgeting, budget and forecast, procurement, contract administration, change order management and bid work. You thus gain a broad understanding of the entire construction process and good conditions to develop further within design management or other parts of the project organization. Person Profile For COBAB, your potential is at least as important as your current title. We are looking for someone who is driven, curious and sharp, and who enjoys understanding how different pieces fit together. You don't need to already be a finished design manager. However, you need to want to develop into the person who gets a design team to work together, drives issues forward and ensures that things actually get solved. You are communicative and find it easy to collaborate with people with different expertise and perspectives. At the same time, you are confident enough to drive issues, set requirements and follow up when something doesn't go according to plan. For success in the role, we also believe you are structured and thorough. Design contains many parallel issues, dependencies and deadlines, which requires you to be able to prioritize and create order. Today you may work in a consulting organization and feel that you want to get closer to construction projects, decisions and production. Or perhaps you already work for a contractor and have discovered that design and coordination is the part of the work you find most enjoyable. We believe you have worked for several years in the construction industry and for example have a background as: • Structural engineer or building engineer • Case handler or project leader at a technical consulting firm • Construction engineer • Foreman • Junior design manager • Or in another technical role where you gained good understanding of the design process It is particularly interesting if you have participated in design meetings and are experienced working with multiple technical disciplines. Knowledge in construction law, AB/ABT, AMA, contract administration, procurement or financial management is a merit. However, the most important thing is that you have a solid technical foundation, understanding of the construction process and the ambition to develop further within design management. You communicate well in Swedish both verbally and in writing and also have good knowledge of English.
