Jobbeschreibung

Together with our customers, we combine the real and digital worlds. With technology, software and services for smart buildings, we transform the everyday for everyone. By combining the real and digital worlds, we empower our customers to reach their decarbonization goals, lower their operating costs and create world‑class occupant experiences for their people. It’s not just about improving buildings – it’s about creating efficient, safe, adaptable and sustainable environments to improve the way the world lives and works.

The digital transformation of buildings is a fast-changing, dynamic sector, and it needs more than just great technology – it needs great people, too. We know a business only thrives if its people are thriving, so at Siemens we put our people first.

We are looking for a motivated and experienced colleague as Global Specification & Prescription Lead. In this newly created role, you will build and lead the prescription strategy for SI Building globally, ensuring that Siemens solutions are embedded in technical specifications at the earliest stages of the project lifecycle. Working globally and coordinating resources across multiple internal departments, you will be the key interface between our solution portfolio and the architectural and engineering community that shapes tomorrow’s buildings.

Your New Responsibilities

• Prescription Strategy: Define and drive the global prescription strategy to position Siemens SI Building solutions as the reference of choice in project specifications during the design phase, covering Building Automation/BMS, HVAC & Energy Management, Digital/IoT platforms, Fire Safety, and Security systems.
• Technical Specification Development: Create and maintain a global library of prescriptive technical documents, master specifications, guide specifications, and bill‑of‑quantities templates aligned to each solution domain and adapted to relevant international standards and norms (EN, ISO, and local codes).
• Architect & Engineering Firm Engagement: Build trusted, long‑term relationships with leading architecture firms, MEP engineering consultants, and design‑build contractors at global and regional level. Deliver technical presentations, workshops, and CPD sessions to position Siemens as a thought leader and preferred specification partner.
• Pre‑Sales & Cross‑functional Coordination: Act as technical reference for consulting engineers during early design phases, supporting pre‑sales teams on bid qualification and ensuring prescriptive positions translate into commercial pipeline. Coordinate virtual teams of solution architects and designers across departments and geographies without direct line authority.
• Portfolio Influence: Collect and synthesize insights from the design and engineering community to feed into the SI Building portfolio roadmap, acting as the voice of the specifier internally and collaborating with Product Management to translate product capabilities into specification‑ready language.
• Governance & Best Practice: Define KPIs and tracking mechanisms to measure prescription impact. Establish and lead an internal community of practice for specification across the global SI Building organisation, promoting knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.

Your Skills And Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Building Services Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline is required. A Master’s degree or postgraduate qualification in Business or Project Management is a plus.
• Minimum of 10 years of experience in a consulting engineering, planning, or design firm (e.g., MEP consultancy, building services engineering firm, or multidisciplinary design practice) is strongly preferred. Background is key to understanding how specifications are written and how technology decisions are made during the design phase of a project. Candidates who have transitioned from a consulting background into a vendor or pre‑sales role will also be considered.
• Proven track record of writing, reviewing, or influencing technical specifications for building systems across one or more of the following domains: BMS/Building Automation, HVAC & Energy Management, Digital/IoT platforms, Fire Safety, or Security systems.
• Deep technical knowledge across the SI Building solution portfolio and familiarity with relevant international standards and communication protocols (e.g., BACnet, Modbus, KNX, DALI).
• Demonstrated ability to engage with architects, MEP engineers, and planning consultants in a technical advisory capacity, earning trust and driving specification decisions without formal authority.
• Experience working in or with an international or global matrix organization, with the ability to coordinate cross‑functional teams across departments and regions.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills. Ability to translate complex technical topics into clear, compelling language for both engineering and business audiences.
• Proficiency in English is required. German, Italian, or additional European languages are a plus.
• Willingness and ability to travel internationally as required (up to 30 %).
• Start date upon agreement.

Location
