Who should you write to at Destinusgroup?

Your free dossier identifies the people who'd interview you — their background, what they value, and how to reach out so you stand out before applying.

As Destinus scales its vehicle programmes, we are looking for a dedicated Technical Project Manager to own execution across the full vehicle development stack – from propulsion and structures through avionics integration, ground support equipment, and qualification. This frees our engineers to focus on technical depth and our team leads on strategic leadership. As one of the first hires in this group, you will manage a programme and help build the PM structure itself alongside team leads and fellow TPMs. You own execution – schedule, cross-disciplinary coordination, risk, and delivery. The engineers run the technical depth; you run the programme. Requirements Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in aerospace, mechanical, systems, or a related engineering discipline · 5–8 years in a hardware-heavy development environment; at least 2 in a project management, programme coordination, or technical lead role – career PMs without hardware exposure will not be considered · Background in aerospace, defence, or a similarly regulated hardware domain; familiarity with vehicle-level or system-level development and qualification cycles is essential · Experience managing cross-disciplinary programmes spanning multiple engineering domains (structures, propulsion, avionics, or similar) is a strong advantage · Able to manage multiple concurrent projects across engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and testing · Strong systems thinking – able to see the full picture, spot where the hard problems are likely to sit, and know when to dive into detail without losing the overall programme · Strong planning skills – able to build a programme schedule from scratch, identify critical path, and keep it current · Comfortable building structure in an ambiguous environment; pragmatic over bureaucratic · Clear, direct communicator in English; German is an advantage Find Jobs in Switzerland on Arbeitnow
