Ein seit 30 Jahren deutschlandweit bekanntes Sachverständigen- und Ingenieurbüro für Baubetrieb und Bauwirtschaft — spezialisiert auf Beratungs- und Gutachterleistungen bei Vertrags- und Nachtragsmanagement, Terminplanung, Bauverzögerungen und Projektmanagement — sucht ab sofort für seinen Standort in Heppenheim (Rhein-Main-Gebiet) sowie in Berlin und/oder Hamburg eine Bauingenieurin / einen Bauingenieur (m/w/d). Das Aufgabenfeld umfasst Beratung zu Vertrags- und Nachtragsmanagement, Gutachten und Stellungnahmen zu baubetrieblichen Fragen, Projektmanagement mit Terminplanung und Termincontrolling sowie die eigenverantwortliche Erarbeitung von Lösungen für Mandanten — mit vertieften Kenntnissen im Bauvertragsrecht (VOB / BGB) und idealerweise Terminplanungsprogrammen wie MS Project, Powerproject oder Oracle Primavera.
About This Bauingenieur:in Opportunity — Sachverständigenbüro Baubetrieb Heppenheim
Firm: A Sachverständigen- und Ingenieurbüro für Baubetrieb und Bauwirtschaft with 30 years of experience — one of Germany’s best-known specialist offices for construction delay analysis, contract management, claims, and construction economics consulting, advising Bauherren and Unternehmen on landmark projects across all sectors of classical construction and plant engineering (Anlagenbau)
Specialisation: Vertrags- und Nachtragsmanagement, Terminplanung, Gutachten and Stellungnahmen for baubetriebliche and bauwirtschaftliche Fragestellungen — including some of Germany’s most high-profile and complex construction disputes and project management cases
Role: Bauingenieur:in (m/w/d) advising Bauherren and Unternehmen on contract and claims management, preparing expert opinions, performing project management and schedule control, producing Leistungsstands- and Baufortschrittsberichte, and developing solutions for clients independently and collaboratively
Locations: Primary office in Heppenheim (Rhein-Main-Gebiet) — also available at Berlin and/or Hamburg offices — well-connected by car and public transport, with client site assignments on an as-needed basis
Why This Bauingenieur:in Role at This Firm Stands Out
Germany’s Leading Construction Delay & Contract Specialists: Work with one of Germany’s most recognised specialist offices for Bauverzögerungen, Nachtragsmanagement, and baubetriebliche Gutachten — engaging with the most technically and legally complex cases in German construction on projects of significant public and commercial prominence
Hochkarätige Projekte — Landmark German Construction: Interesting and responsible assignments across all areas of construction and plant engineering with often high public visibility — the kind of complex, high-stakes projects where the analytical depth, contractual precision, and technical expertise of a specialist Sachverständigenbüro are genuinely indispensable
Interdisziplinäre Expertise — Technik trifft Recht: A uniquely intellectually rich professional environment at the intersection of construction technology, contract law (VOB / BGB), delay analysis, forensic scheduling, and expert witness work — developing a specialist expertise profile that very few construction firms in Germany can offer to engineering graduates
Geregelte Arbeitszeiten & Arbeitszeitkonto: A clearly defined working time model with regulated hours and a time account where nothing is lost — alongside regular, needs-based training, individual promotion, and a friendly, cooperative team with flat hierarchies and an open culture
Position Overview — Bauingenieur:in, Vertrags- & Nachtragsmanagement, Terminplanung
This Bauingenieur:in (m/w/d) at this Heppenheim-based Sachverständigen- und Ingenieurbüro advises Bauherren and construction companies on Vertrags- und Nachtragsmanagement, billing questions, and scheduling matters — prepares expert opinions (Gutachten) and statements on baubetriebliche and bauwirtschaftliche questions — undertakes project management tasks including Terminplanung and Termincontrolling, produces Leistungsstands- and Baufortschrittsberichte and associated Baustellendokumentation — and serves as the primary contact person for the firm’s clients, developing solutions for complex problems independently and collaboratively — at the intersection of construction engineering, contract law, and project management advisory consulting.
Why This Role Matters: As Bauingenieur:in at this Sachverständigenbüro for Baubetrieb und Bauwirtschaft, you are working at the point where the engineering reality of a construction project meets the legal and commercial framework that determines who bears the consequences when things do not go according to plan. The Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg — 866 million euros, ten years of construction time, a tenfold increase in construction costs, and a tripling of the construction duration — is the kind of project where the questions this firm answers matter enormously: who is responsible, what caused the delays, how do the contractual provisions allocate risk, what do the schedules show, and what evidence supports which party’s claims? When your forensic schedule analysis correctly identifies that a critical-path delay caused by a Bauherr decision in month three cascaded into a programme impact in month eighteen that no one documented correctly at the time, your Nachtrag review correctly identifies that a subcontractor’s additional cost claim is partly justified and partly a repackaging of costs already included in the original contract price, or your Gutachten on a disputed construction sequence is clear, well-evidenced, and rigorous enough to hold up in an arbitration proceeding — you are not performing technical analysis. You are shaping the outcome of construction disputes worth millions of euros. That is the professional weight and intellectual reward of work at Germany’s leading Sachverständigenbüro for Baubetrieb und Bauwirtschaft.
Key Responsibilities — Deine Aufgaben
Vertrags- & Nachtragsmanagement — Beratung von Bauherren & Unternehmen
- Advise Bauherren and construction companies on contract and claims management (Vertrags- und Nachtragsmanagement) — providing expert guidance on the legal, technical, and commercial aspects of construction contract administration, Nachtrag evaluation, price negotiations, and dispute prevention in the context of VOB and BGB construction contracts
- Provide advice on billing questions (Abrechnungsfragen) — evaluating contractor bills, analysing disputed positions, assessing the contractual basis for additional compensation claims, and advising clients on the correct approach to billing disputes that arise from scope changes, site conditions, or project delays
- Advise on construction time-related matters (bauzeitliche Themen) — analysing construction schedule development, identifying and documenting delay causes and their contractual attribution, and advising clients on the claims and defences available under VOB and BGB when programmes overrun
- Serve as primary contact person for the firm’s clients — developing the professional relationships, trust, and responsive communication style that allow the firm’s Bauherren and construction company clients to rely on the Bauingenieur:in as a knowledgeable, credible, and genuinely helpful adviser on complex construction problems
Gutachten, Stellungnahmen & Baubetriebliche Analysen
- Prepare expert opinions (Gutachten) and statements (Stellungnahmen) on baubetriebliche and bauwirtschaftliche questions — producing the technically rigorous, clearly structured, and legally defensible written analyses that judges, arbitrators, and parties to construction disputes rely on to understand what actually happened on a project and who bears responsibility
- Analyse construction sequences, productivity, resource allocation, and cost development — applying the baubetriebliche methodology and forensic construction analysis skills that distinguish expert opinion work in construction disputes from standard project management consulting
- Independently develop solutions for client problems and questions — applying analytical and strategic thinking to complex construction contract and scheduling challenges with the intellectual curiosity, methodological rigour, and professional confidence that Gutachten and advisory work at this level requires
Terminplanung, Projektmanagement & Baustellendokumentation
- Undertake project management tasks including Terminplanung (scheduling) and Termincontrolling (schedule control) — using MS Project, Oracle Primavera, Powerproject, or equivalent scheduling tools to develop, update, and analyse construction schedules at the level of detail and analytical depth that forensic delay analysis and project advisory work demands
- Produce Leistungsstands- and Baufortschrittsberichte (progress status and construction progress reports) and associated Baustellendokumentation — creating the structured, evidence-based project documentation that accurately records construction progress, identifies deviations from programme, and provides the factual foundation for contractual correspondence and claims management
- Apply proficiency in MS Office products to analytical, reporting, and documentation tasks — Excel for data analysis and cost evaluation, Word for Gutachten and reporting, and PowerPoint for client presentations and professional communication of complex findings
Qualifications & Profile — Dein Profil
Essential Requirements
- Completed university degree in Civil Engineering — Bachelor, Master, or Diplom in Bauingenieurwesen — the academic foundation for specialist work in baubetriebliche and bauwirtschaftliche consulting, Gutachten, and construction contract advisory
- First or extensive professional experience in construction — Bauleitung or project management — demonstrating practical understanding of construction site operations, construction processes, and the real-world complexity that baubetriebliche analysis and Nachtrag management require
- Deep knowledge of construction contract law — VOB (Vergabe- und Vertragsordnung für Bauleistungen) and BGB (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) — the legal framework within which all contract and claims advisory, Nachtrag evaluation, and Gutachten work is conducted
- Excellent written and verbal expression (sehr gute Ausdrucksweise) — with the clarity, precision, and analytical communication quality that professional Gutachten, Stellungnahmen, and client advisory work in a Sachverständigenbüro requires
- Very good MS Office proficiency — particularly Excel, Word, and PowerPoint for analysis, reporting, and client communication
- Negotiation-level German language skills (C1 minimum) in spoken and written form — essential for professional communication with German-speaking Bauherren, construction companies, lawyers, judges, and arbitrators
- Analytical and strategic thinking — genuine enjoyment of complex technical and contractual problems and the intellectual engagement to penetrate them thoroughly
Preferred & Advantageous
- Ideally knowledge of scheduling software — MS Project, Powerproject, or Oracle Primavera — for forensic delay analysis, schedule development, and construction progress monitoring tasks
- Openness to occasional client site and Baustelle visits as part of the advisory and expert witness mandate — with primary work location at the Heppenheim office
