Project Manager - Development Department-Athens, On-site

Construction Engineer
€3000 - €3500 / Monthly rate
Permanent
Athens

 An Athens-based company operating at the intersection of hospitality, culture, and urban experience, with an active portfolio spanning coworking, parking and mobility services, and visitor attractions. A new cultural attraction in Kerameikos is currently in development and due to launch soon. The Development Department is a small, hands-on team responsible for all capital investment projects — new builds, exhibitions, and renovations — and this hire will take individual ownership of projects within that programme.

The role

A client-side project management role with real ownership. You'll carry projects from design development through to handover, acting as the owner's representative at every stage — managing contractors and consultants, controlling budgets and timelines, and coordinating permits and technical documentation. The project mix is genuinely varied: new building construction, exhibition fit-outs, and facility renovations, all within Athens and all with a cultural or visitor-experience dimension.

What you will bring
  • Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or a related field
  • Proven experience in construction project management (3+ years)— client-side or developer-side experience strongly preferred over contracting or consultancy
  • Strong working knowledge of the Greek construction market, local regulations, and permitting processes
  • Fluent in both Greek and English — project reporting is required in both languages
  • Organised and direct: comfortable managing multiple active projects and making decisions without hand-holding
  • Strong negotiation skills — you'll be managing contractors and consultants on the owner's behalf
Nice to have
  • PRINCE2 or equivalent PM certification 
  • Experience with hospitality, cultural, or visitor attraction projects 
  • Exposure to listed buildings or heritage-sensitive construction environments

What's in it for you

You will join small development team, close collaboration with leadership, direct visibility into strategic decisions and individual project responsibility from day one — not a support role within a large PM function. Project variety" New builds, exhibition fit-outs, and renovations — including an upcoming cultural visitor attraction in Kerameikos, one of the more distinctive development projects in Athens right now.

Salary range: 45k-50k € gross/year. Benefits: Private insurance, Ticket restaurant card, Company services discounts, Yoga sessions.

Location: Athens — project sites within the city, on-site work model with site visits.
