ABOUT CARSTEN BROUWER
Construction Project Manager with international experience, fluent in English & German. I enjoy working internationally and have experience as both the Main Contractor & also on the Client side. I am a native German (now living in Germany) and have recently spent 10+ years living in the UK. I have worked for global organizations such a Lidl, where I managed a retail construction budget in the region of £100M per annum. I work for UK based TowerEight, a Project & Cost Management Consultancy. I manage hotel projects for the client Premier Inn (Whitbread), a successful UK business with over 800 hotels that are famous for good night’s sleep. The target in Germany is very clear - continue the success story in Germany to establish the brand as quickly as possible. I am best known for my calm nature, particularly when things don’t go to plan, because in this game – planning can only ever take you so far! I have countless skills that are transferable to any sector or industry, such as Automotive, Logistics, Warehouse, Retail, & Hotels. HOW I HELP BUSINESSES PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES • I have the ability to simultaneously project manage several different projects. I can coordinate projects up to an approximate value of £100 million. I have also managed & been the Technical Line Manager for up to 13 Regional Senior Construction Consultants at Lidl. • At TowerEight, despite the Covid-19 situation & significant supply chain issues, I drew on my strong understanding of both UK & German regulations to complete a project for a large UK hotel chain who were refurbishing their hotels in Germany, on time & on budget.SOLUTION FOCUSED & COMMERCIAL AWARENESSI am a confident decision-maker & always seek out solutions that will benefit my team. As a manager, I promote ‘my door is always open\'; I am proactive & predict problems before they arise. I take preventative measures to save time and money further down the line. I am a competent communicator which assists in averting issues & reducing misunderstandings. STRONG NEGOTIATION WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE BOTTOM LINEI am a firm believer in creating a win/win situation for all parties concerned. I do this by understanding not only how the key parts of projects come together but also the financial implications; due to this I have made substantial cost savings for the companies I have worked.Always happy to connect with old & new colleagues via email or L••••••••@hotmail.co.uk Please see my 7+ recommendations below
