What we do

The phrase ‘safe as houses’ means nothing without experts like you. A building and its surroundings are complex structures, the product of many trades. Architects, construction workers, plumbers, brokers, engineers, urban planners – they all bring their expertise together to ensure that constructions are safe for us, our friends, our family, our colleagues, and the rest of society. It is a highly interdisciplinary environment. 

By joining TÜV SÜD in the area of Real Estate and Building Technology, you will become a part of that. From the drawing board to demolition, we look after buildings in every phase of their life cycle, checking and confirming safety measures and performing real estate surveys and evaluations. 

Our employees provide professional support for investors, builders, planners, operators and manufacturers of plants, buildings and infrastructure facilities. We ensure safety, sustainability and energy efficiency on these projects, for example through BIM, project management services or the quality management of construction operations. 

Inside the buildings, our experts test escalators, cooling and heating devices, and building fire safety both on-site and within our company-owned laboratories, making sure everything runs smoothly. 

Join us with a degree in engineering, plus some background in the industry. We tend to promote employees with specialist knowledge and the necessary ability to think outside the box. 

Who we are looking for

Degree & Experience
Successful candidates usually join us with a degree in electrical, civil, mechanical or industrial engineering, architecture, real estate management or business with a focus on real estate. Depending on the role, an ardent and thorough knowledge in automation technology or building law may also be a plus. Several years of relevant work experience will also be expected.

Technology is Your Passion
We are passionate about technology, our careers, and contributing to a safer, more sustainable world – and our work ethic reflects that. We are looking for those of you who take a closer look and conduct their work thoroughly to come to informed decisions. We need people who love collaborating, are always looking forward, and are firmly committed to our responsibilities for safety and sustainability.

Leading the Digital Revolution
We aim to shape the future by becoming one of the pioneers of the digital revolution through our comprehensive portfolio of safety, security and sustainability solutions. Academics, specialists, and practical-minded generalists alike will find many suitable areas of employment in our organisation.

BIM, IT, Engineering, Inspection
Our experts are our most valuable assets. They are the ones who turned the projects above into successes. BIM consultants, IT specialists, project engineers, and building inspectors alike do their part in bringing new buildings and technologies to life. They make sure we stay a part of progress and help shape the future.

Yannick Renaud, Project Engineer for Energy and Simulation, Germany

“My expertise lies in complex building requirements, where every project feels like detective work. We analyze how ventilation improves indoor air quality and investigate pressure-related technical issues in buildings. Customers place great trust in TÜV SÜD, and rightly so—our work enhances safety by optimizing smoke and heat ventilation systems, ensuring healthier and more secure environments.”

    TÜV SÜD @ 15IBP: A Technological Hub in Singapore

    TÜV SÜD @ IBP will become an eight-storey integrated office and lab hub for 650 of our colleagues to work under one roof. 

    True to our core philosophies, TÜV SÜD @ IBP uses digitalisation to ensure the highest safety and sustainability in every square metre. As a leading global expert for testing, inspection and certification, our new Singapore headquarters are a live example for the digitalisation of a building life cycle, from design, to construction, to operation. 

    We wanted our new workplace to reduce cost factors such as energy consumption and to rework and empower project control and building management. To do that, we will create a digital twin as the basis for TÜV SÜD @ IBP and transform it into reality by using the reverse life cycle approach. 

    This digital twin allows us to optimise building operation and maintenance before hammering even a single nail. This tool is exemplary of our one-stop service: we can provide advice, testing, inspection, certification and management service through all stages of the building life cycle. 

    Simulating the Flow of Aerosols with CFD

    We wanted to help other companies through the corona pandemic by making it easier to protect their employees and help them better understand the spread of this virus. 

    The pandemic has made it clear how important the targeted removal of air and aerosols from enclosed spaces is for reducing the risk of infection, particularly in autumn and winter when most people stay indoors and have poorer ventilation. But the difficulty with indoor air distribution is, of course, that the situation is different in every room itself. Furthermore, the way the air spreads through the room is influenced by the people within it, and their type of exhalation like normal breathing, talking, coughing and sneezing. 

    So, we knew that calculating the airflow would be extremely complex, but thanks to our experts, not impossible. 

    To track the air breathed in and out by people in a room, we create a digital twin of the building and simulate the respiratory air by taking into account all important ventilation conditions, such as ventilation systems, windows and door openings, furniture, and the distribution of people (including their breathing). 

    We hope employers will use this approach to make sure their offices are well ventilated and healthy for their employees. 

    Lift Manager: Ensuring Lift Safety and Reliability Through Digital Technologies

    Lift Manager: Ensuring Lift Safety and Reliability Through Digital Technologies

    TÜV SÜD's innovative Lift Manager solution is an independent, predictive maintenance service for optimised lift operations and management. It leverages our lift domain and digital expertise to support lift operation and maintenance using industry monitoring sensors and an IoT platform. Our Lift Manager system can be used on lifts of any age, brand or model, including those already in service. Drawing on our vast experience and expertise in lift operation, we carefully choose the perfect locations for our sensors on the lift car’s top without requiring any interface with the lift. The data that these sensors pick up during the lift operations are analysed in real time using our predictive model algorithms to predict and avert lift failures. The high-accuracy predictive lift model was built based upon 80 years of lift inspection and certification experience, with more than 300,000 inspections performed every year.
