We offer an opportunity you simply won’t find anywhere else. In less than four years, Mileway has grown into Europe’s leader in last mile logistics real estate, with a 550-plus team across more than twenty offices in ten countries.

We’re looking for an experienced, entrepreneurial Construction and Project Manager who is ready to shine in an international team and will focus on the German market.

The person we’re looking for is a solid multi-tasker, bringing together project management, design, tendering, permitting, procurement and CapEx initiatives. The right candidate has not only the drive and discipline to handle the day to day, but the ambition to grow with us as we develop an unparalleled opportunity as the principal player in last mile real estate.

Outside of Mileway, you’ll be skilled in getting the best from relationships with suppliers and creating best-in-class internal procurement initiatives.
