Construction & Project Manager

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

We’re looking for an experienced, entrepreneurial Construction and Project Manager who is ready to shine in an international team. Our new Construction and Project Manager will focus on the French market. This is a visible role for a self-starter who can steer and direct projects and people.

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.

Are you a natural collaborator? Teamwork will be essential in this role. As part of our French country team, you’ll report to the Senior Construction and Project Manager and work closely with our asset managers and international colleagues from all over the world. The Asset Management team will benefit from your technical support and expertise. You’ll also be touching base with our team of in-house analysts and technical support. Outside of Mileway, you’ll be skilled in getting the best from relationships with suppliers and creating best-in-class internal procurement initiatives. 

Working at Mileway

We offer an opportunity you simply won’t find anywhere else. Launched in 2019, Mileway has rapidly grown into Europe’s leader in last-mile logistics real estate, with a team of over 550 across more than twenty offices in 11 countries.
