About the role

• Compliance with cost and quality standards: You assess construction costs according to DIN 276 and are familiar with the building regulations of the German federal states. You ensure that generally accepted technical rules (such as ASR guidelines or fire protection regulations) are followed.
• Shaping the general planning process: You act as the client's central contact person, organize expert reports, obtain approvals, and think across disciplines. You will work closely with our experienced architect and share your knowledge across the organization.

Requirements

• Degree in Architecture or a related field

• Passion for shaping a new business area and for interdisciplinary teamwork

Benefits

• Diverse working environment: As part of the UNITY Innovation Alliance, you benefit from a large network — gaining knowledge, exchange, and collaboration with experts across the group.
• Strategic influence on general planning: You are not only the main contact for clients and authorities but also help build our general planning business area with your expertise.
• Flexible working model: Flexible working without core hours — whether from (home) office, our Hamburg office, or while traveling.
• Fast project onboarding: Direct entry into ongoing projects through a structured mentoring program and the opportunity to contribute actively from day one.
• Continuous development: You have a set number of training days available, which you can use, for example, for certifications with the Architects' Chamber. You will also develop through independent project work and close collaboration with our senior architect.
• Additional benefits: Company pension plan, corporate benefits, JobRad (company bike), and Urban Sports Club, among others.
