Reporting to the Site Facility Manager, this is a newly created position for an experienced Project Manager to take full ownership of building automation across a large, technically complex semiconductor site in Germany.

This role has been created to introduce clear responsibility and long‑term ownership of building automation, an area that is becoming increasingly critical as the site continues to evolve. Until now, responsibility has been shared across several functions; this hire will change that.

Why you’ll want to join

• Opportunity to take ownership of building automation on a large, complex and historic site
• A role designed for longevity, stability and progression
• Clear path into team leadership, with a team to be built under you over time
• Strong, collaborative infrastructure team with a genuinely supportive culture

As the Project Manager – Building Automation, you will be responsible for

• End‑to‑end delivery of building automation and control system projects
• Developing, modernising and integrating building automation and control systems across the site
• Acting as the technical and project lead for building automation initiatives
• Coordinating internal teams, suppliers and external partners
• Supporting knowledge transfer and succession planning within the team
• Establishing structure, standards and long‑term strategy for building automation

What you’ll bring

• Experience in building automation / building control technology
• Hands‑on experience delivering automation projects on complex or large‑scale sites
• Ability to operate independently and take ownership, particularly in the first year
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach
• German language skills are essential; English is beneficial
• Site‑based role with limited home office flexibility due to the hands‑on nature of the work
• 40‑hour contract (35 hours possible on a pro‑rata basis)
• Salary up to €90,000
• Benefits include subsidised lunches, bicycle scheme, English lessons during working hours, monthly wellness initiatives, and regular team and family events

If you are motivated by ownership, long‑term impact, and the opportunity to shape and lead building automation within a highly technical environment, this role offers a rare opportunity to do exactly that.
