Building and Operations Manager

The Economic Development and Development Company of the City of Rheinbach mbH (WFEG) is the municipal contact for companies, founders, and investors at the Rheinbach business location.

The GTZ is currently undergoing comprehensive development. From the beginning of 2027, approximately 25 percent more rentable space will be available. In addition to new office and laboratory spaces, a co-working area is being created. A new event/seminar/training area is also planned. For the professional operation and further development of the center, we are therefore looking for a dedicated personality in full-time employment as soon as possible (employment on a part-time basis is fundamentally possible).
