Together with customers, Siemens combines the real and digital worlds to transform everyday life in smart buildings. By integrating technology, software, and services, Siemens helps customers achieve decarbonization goals, reduce operating costs, and create world-class occupant experiences. The digital transformation of buildings is a dynamic sector that requires great people as well as great technology. Siemens puts its people first to ensure business success.
This newly created role will build and lead the prescription strategy for SI Building globally, ensuring Siemens solutions are embedded in technical specifications at the earliest stages of the project lifecycle. The position works globally, coordinating resources across multiple internal departments, and serves as the key interface between the solution portfolio and the architectural and engineering community shaping tomorrow's buildings.
Tasks
- Define and drive the global prescription strategy to position Siemens SI Building solutions as the reference of choice in project specifications during the design phase, covering Building Automation/BMS, HVAC & Energy Management, Digital/IoT platforms, Fire Safety, and Security systems.
- Create and maintain a global library of prescriptive technical documents, master specifications, guide specifications, and bill-of-quantities templates aligned to each solution domain and adapted to relevant international standards and norms (EN, ISO, and local codes).
- Build trusted, long-term relationships with leading architecture firms, MEP engineering consultants, and design-build contractors at global and regional levels. Deliver technical presentations, workshops, and CPD sessions to position Siemens as a thought leader and preferred specification partner.
- Act as technical reference for consulting engineers during early design phases, supporting pre-sales teams on bid qualification and ensuring prescriptive positions translate into commercial pipeline. Coordinate virtual teams of solution architects and designers across departments and geographies without direct line authority.
- Collect and synthesize insights from the design and engineering community to feed into the SI Building portfolio roadmap, acting as the voice of the specifier internally and collaborating with Product Management to translate product capabilities into specification-ready language.
- Define KPIs and tracking mechanisms to measure prescription impact. Establish and lead an internal community of practice for specification across the global SI Building organisation, promoting knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Building Services Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline is required.
- Master's degree or postgraduate qualification in Business or Project Management is a plus.
- Minimum of 10 years of experience working within a consulting engineering, planning, or design firm (e.g., MEP consultancy, building services engineering firm, or multidisciplinary design practice) is strongly preferred.
- Candidates who have transitioned from a consulting background into a vendor or pre-sales role will also be considered.
- Proven track record of writing, reviewing, or influencing technical specifications for building systems across one or more of the following domains: BMS/Building Automation, HVAC & Energy Management, Digital/IoT platforms, Fire Safety, or Security systems.
- Deep technical knowledge across the SI Building solution portfolio and familiarity with relevant international standards and communication protocols (e.g., BACnet, Modbus, KNX, DALI).
- Demonstrated ability to engage with architects, MEP engineers, and planning consultants in a technical advisory capacity, earning trust and driving specification decisions without formal authority.
- Experience working in or with an international or global matrix organization, with the ability to coordinate cross-functional teams across departments and regions.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to translate complex technical topics into clear, compelling language for both engineering and business audiences.
- Proficiency in English is required. German, Italian, or additional European languages are a plus.
- Willingness and ability to travel internationally as required (up to 30%).
- Legal eligibility to work in the respective country is a prerequisite.
Benefits
- Local employee benefits apply.
