Your Responsibilities

You’ll identify potential claims, develop robust claim strategies, and enforce valid claims—using your legal knowledge, construction industry expertise, and strong negotiation skills. As a Claims Manager/Amendment Manager, you’ll ensure clear contractual foundations, well-founded amendments, and reliable results. This includes, in particular:

• Contract and Amendment Management: Drafting, reviewing, and evaluating construction contracts, amendments, and contractual claims—including contractual correspondence and the contractual management of construction projects
• Claim Strategy, Pursuit, and Defense: Managing and tracking filed claims, as well as developing appropriate strategies to enforce our own claims and defend against unjustified claims
• Analysis of performance deviations and construction schedule disruptions: Assessing deviations from the planned construction schedule and their impact on timelines and finances; drafting construction-related and technical amendments based on well-documented site records
• Advising project teams: Close collaboration with construction and project management, cost and schedule control, and cost estimation during the bidding and execution phases—including opportunity-risk analyses and cross-functional management
• Negotiations and enforcement: Preparation, support, and execution of amendment negotiations, construction contract meetings, and partnership meetings in collaboration with project management
• Documentation, Reporting, and Management: Preparing decision-making documents and reports, maintaining structured claim documentation, working with client portals, and coordinating external construction industry and site management consultants

Your Profile

You work independently, in a structured and goal-oriented manner. With your confident demeanor and negotiation skills, you win over clients and subcontractors alike. You also recognize yourself in the following profile:

• A completed degree in civil engineering or industrial engineering with a focus on construction—or a comparable qualification (e.g., construction technician)—as well as at least 5 years of professional experience as a project manager or in the aforementioned area of responsibility
• In-depth knowledge of contract and amendment law (VOB/B, BGB) as well as claims and contract management
• Very good understanding of construction operations, particularly in construction scheduling and cost estimation, as well as experience dealing with clients and subcontractors
• Proficiency with MS Office, RIB iTWO, and standard scheduling software
• Strong communication skills, assertiveness, and the ability to work effectively in a team
• High level of responsibility and commitment, as well as strong organizational skills

In this role, you’ll hold a key position: You’ll ensure transparency in service delivery, professionally manage claims, and strengthen the financial foundation of our projects. If you want to apply your expertise in claims management in a targeted manner, take on responsibility, and work on an equal footing with clients and project teams, this is the right place for you.
