“I find the opportunities for professional development extremely good.“
Nadine Fenrich
Head of Project-Management
With VMT since 2011
Since my beginnings as a project engineer, time and again I have been given the opportunity to develop my skills and move up within the company. I find it very motivating to play an active role in the vision and direction of the company.
Tunnel navigation is a niche industry. We work at the interface between surveying and mechanical engineering. I enjoy being part of the international tunnelling community and have made lasting connections with people all over the world.
Working at VMT has taken me from Switzerland to Sri Lanka, from Malaysia to Mexico, from Thailand to Turkmenistan.

“It makes me feel good to work in an area in which there is continuous investment.”
André Filipe Silva
Project Engineer
With VMT since 2020
As part of the Herrenknecht Group, we work on world-class projects and have connections with the best in the industry. It makes me feel good to work in an area in which there is continuous investment: not only do I know that my career path is secure, but also that I have a role to play in creating critical infrastructure. Travelling to new countries and getting to know other cultures are the icing on the cake.
Flexible working arrangements allow me to balance my work and family life. The opportunity to work remotely while being part of a strong, united team is just great. Regular online team meetings and company initiatives keep us connected to each other and the whole organisation.

“Professional development is highly valued and encouraged…”
Niklas Geiger
Head of it
With VMT since 2011
Professional development is highly valued and encouraged, and there are opportunities to learn and grow within the company. Being involved in various strategy groups and projects has significantly enriched my working life. I am able to broaden my knowledge in areas outside my field of expertise and gain a practical understanding of how the different parts of the company work as a whole.
My tasks are very varied and fully cover the broad spectrum of industrial surveying and measurement. From hardware and software to consulting, support and services. This makes the work very interesting and diverse. Every day brings new challenges, different tasks and enquiries from different industries.
