Summary

With over 14 years of experience as an architect and over 35 years of experience in the construction industry, I bring broad expertise in construction planning, building design, and planning coordination. In my last role as construction manager for Züblin, I focused on defect remediation at Fire and Rescue Station 1 in Hanover, ensuring precise and efficient execution. Before that, I worked as tenant coordinator for Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield for well-known retail brands in the new Westfield Überseequartier development and as planning coordinator for Züblin during the conversion of Weserpark in Bremen. For ECE Hamburg, I contributed as an architect to the construction implementation of Stadtgalerie Schweinfurt and Rathausgalerie in Leverkusen. My focus is on delivering projects on time and with the highest quality, while promoting smooth communication between all parties involved.
