Description

Civil Engineer & Project Manager – Renewable Energy | Infrastructure | Water Management

Hi, I'm Benjamin – a German civil engineer and certified project manager (Scrum) with over 7 years of international experience delivering complex infrastructure and environmental projects. From solar thermal power plants in Sicily to sustainable urban water systems in Germany, I bring technical know-how and hands-on leadership to every project I take on.

I specialize in managing multidisciplinary teams and coordinating all phases of civil and environmental engineering projects: from planning and tendering to execution and quality assurance. My recent roles as Head of Civil and Project Leader at Frenell GmbH have strengthened my expertise in renewable energy and civil works, especially in international contexts.

Having worked in both the public and private sectors, I understand the technical, contractual, and stakeholder challenges that come with modern infrastructure and energy transition projects. I thrive in multicultural teams, communicate fluently in English, German, and French, and am passionate about building resilient, sustainable systems.

Let’s work together to turn your project ideas into solid, impactful results.
