VIETZ has been developing and building special construction machines for international pipeline construction for 50 years. As an owner-managed company, we stand for technical substance, short decision-making and clear responsibilities. Our development is not a pure design area – it is the technical spearhead of our company. Not only is it constructed, here it is decided whether a loadable, marketable overall system is created from an idea. Lead Engineer (m/w/d) Location: Hannover Entrance: From now on Why this role is more than a job You are not a design resource here – you are the technical reference. In this key position, you shape complete machines from the first concept idea to the series maturity. Your choices are visible, measurable and prove in hard pipeline construction site use. You're not responsible for a component. You're responsible for the machine. With direct influence on product quality, technological orientation and sustainability of our company, you actively shape VIETZ's technical handwriting. .
