Matthias About His Experience in Our Construction Department

German Version

Matthias

Matthias is a Civil Engineer by profession and works as a Construction Project Manager for wind energy at ABO Energy. His main task is to successfully implement wind projects during the planning and construction phases. His goal is to contribute his expertise to actively shape the technical planning of a wind farm and to ensure a smooth and cost-efficient construction process.

What are your main tasks on a day-to-day basis?

What’s exciting about my job is that there’s no typical daily routine that repeats itself. Every day brings new challenges and tasks, which depend on the current phase of the project and the specific characteristics of each individual project.

The most exciting phase is the construction phase, where you see how well your planning holds up. During this time, the main tasks include coordinating and documenting construction site activities and continuously liaising with internal departments and external specialist companies.

Even during times without active construction on-site, the work is very diverse. It essentially involves ensuring that wind turbines reach their planned construction site safely and cost-effectively through technical planning, cost calculations, and smart negotiations.

What motivates you most about working in renewable energy – especially in construction?

Knowing that my work makes an active contribution to society and the environment, while doing something I enjoy, is a huge motivation for me. Specifically in construction, I like that every project ends with a tangible result (the wind turbines), and I can proudly say that I helped make that happen.

How would you describe the atmosphere in the construction department?

The good collaboration, collegial interaction, and friendly relationships with colleagues are key success factors at ABO Energy – especially in the construction department. Contrary to what I expected in my youth, I actually enjoy going to work, thanks to my great colleagues and the shared enthusiasm for the topic of renewable energy.

Has ABO Energy helped you grow professionally or personally?

My idea of personal development is growing with your responsibilities. That’s exactly what ABO Energy promotes – on the one hand by trusting its employees and maintaining a culture that embraces mistakes, and on the other through the professional expertise of its staff and the internal knowledge-sharing between colleagues and departments.
