You will quickly become familiar with your tasks and responsibilities and the required knowledge, both project specific and general technical knowledge. We will offer you a position that fits your profile, ambitions and experience level.

Do you fit the profile?
The most important qualities are: enjoying a challenge and being able to find solutions for unexpected problems.

As BAM International is working on large-scale projects in various countries and cultures throughout the world, each with its own particular challenges, we need to select our engineers carefully.

You are open and flexible to work in any project location around the globe. You are enterprising and actively contributing to fulfilling a task or solving the problem at hand.
