Underground parking is available within the building, with additional parking spaces nearby for employees commuting by car.

A few important points about the role

If you're considering applying, there are a few things worth highlighting:

This is a senior construction management position. They specifically request several years of experience managing construction sites in Germany.

German construction knowledge is important. Familiarity with German construction law and VOB is explicitly required.

Language requirements are significant. They expect very good German and English, so professional German communication will likely be essential.

The role combines technical and commercial responsibilities. It isn't purely site supervision; it also involves cost control, variations, invoicing, procurement and programme management.

The location is Oberhaching, not central Munich. This is just south of Munich, with access to public transport and parking.

One particularly important consideration: The requirement for previous construction-site experience in Germany could be a key selection criterion, especially if your construction experience has primarily been gained in another country.
