Company

300 employees. One team. Higher performance.

With over 300 employees, Julius Berger International is one of the largest engineering firms in the Rhine-Main metropolitan region. At the office in Wiesbaden, our team provides our clients with all of the integrated design and engineering services along with our supplementary services. For optimal organisation, the departments are split into the Design & Engineering department, tasked to handle the usual planning services, and the Tender & Project Support unit which takes care of construction-related services and project management. The team is headed up by our managing directors: three experienced professionals who combine planning, project management, commercial issues and digitalisation to ensure the success of our clients and therefore our company.
