A day in the life of a Project Manager

Altnova is a respected restoration specialist, combining both office work (engineering) and an in-house workshop. This means you work daily alongside skilled craftspeople who restore historic wrought iron and cast iron. You learn from their craftsmanship, and they actively contribute to your technical solutions. Projects here are built through dialogue.

You are not detached from execution — you are right in the middle of the process. Ideas are tested against experience, and plans become sharper through hands-on knowledge. This direct interaction ensures that you don’t just manage projects, but truly understand them.

Moreover, you will work on historic sites and valuable heritage. Every project contributes to the preservation and renewed appreciation of unique buildings and locations.

We strongly believe in diversity of background and expertise. Whether you come from architecture, engineering, technical drafting, or another technical field: your strengths will have room to grow here. We complement each other and build better projects together.

The interaction between office and workshop, between technical analysis and craftsmanship, between different backgrounds and perspectives — that is what makes this role unique.
