Junior Construction Field Manager

Who we are

At Ecosystem we believe we should be accountable for results. Thats why weve integrated engineering and construction seeing our projects through from design concept to implementation and commissioning. And thats how we can efficiently solve complex energy and decarbonization challenges in the built environment.

Why this role matters

At Ecosystem we operate as an integrated engineering and construction firm: We design with construction expertise build with operations in mind and optimize every decision to hit the target.

As a Construction Manager you will be deeply involved throughout all phases of the project: you will have a strong influence during the design stage; ensuring constructability and operational efficiency before leading its execution on site.
