About Jens

For more than 8 years I have been working as an architect in Germany.

In this time I carried out about 40 projects from the first draft to the finished building. In 2012 I was responsible for the remodeling of a school gymnasium (approx. 1.3 million EUR of project costs) in the work stages of construction permit, execution planning, tender preparation, awarding of contracts and site supervision.

Lastly I was the responsible project architect for one of my projects, a single family house.

I would like to profitably incorporate the experience and expertise which I gained with remodeling and new building developments in Germany into your company.

My language skills in English, German and French will help to process smoothly projects with international participants.
