Project Manager – Road & Rail Design

We are recruiting a Project Manager - Road & Rail Design on behalf of our client, an international consulting and engineering group active in Romania for almost 30 years, with services in road and rail transport infrastructure, water and environment, energy, urban development, and institutional advisory. Globally, the company creates and operates intelligent infrastructure and buildings that support the transition to a low-carbon economy and sustainable territorial development.

You will work with multidisciplinary design teams (roads, bridges and structures, railways, hydrotechnical works), to international design and contract management standards, including FIDIC.

• Location: Bucharest (Victoriei area) - hybrid work schedule

• Employment contract (CIM) or B2B collaboration, based on your preference
