Summary

With over 14 years of experience as an architect and more than 35 years in the construction industry, I bring extensive expertise in design, construction methods, and project coordination. In my last role as site manager for Züblin, I focused on defect rectification at Fire and Rescue Station 1 in Hanover, ensuring precise and efficient execution. Before that, I worked as a tenant coordinator for Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield for well-known retail brands during the new construction of the Westfield Überseequartier and as a planning coordinator for Züblin on the refurbishment of the Weserpark in Bremen. For ECE Hamburg, I was involved as an architect in the structural implementation of the Stadtgalerie Schweinfurt and the Rathausgalerie in Leverkusen. My focus is to deliver projects on time and with the highest quality, while promoting smooth communication among all stakeholders.
