Join the team · For freelancers

Freelancers wanted – for packaging technology, mechanical engineering and the optimisation of production plants.

You want to work on capital projects as a freelancer without chasing clients yourself? At POWERJO you focus on your core competence. We take care of project acquisition, back office, marketing and invoicing.

What you get at POWERJO

We are not a staffing agency that passes on CVs. We are engineers and project managers ourselves – and we know what an assignment really takes.

Projects instead of acquisition

You receive concrete enquiries from capital projects in packaging technology and industrial automation – from mid-sized companies to global players. You decide what suits you.

Backing on assignment

The team stands behind you. In important meetings a second person joins; with technical or organisational questions you are never alone.

Fair rates, clear invoicing

Vetted clients, clean contracts, transparent invoicing via timesheets. No surprises – in either direction.

Who we are looking for

  • CAPEX project managers, site managers, on-site managers (machinery and plant engineering, food, pharma)
  • Process, packaging and food technologists, packaging developers
  • Design engineers, technical draughtsmen, layout and intralogistics planners
  • Electrical engineers, PLC and robot programmers, commissioning engineers, service technicians
  • Civil engineers and building services planners for new plant construction and conversions
  • Software developers, MES and data specialists
  • Sales, PMO, back-office assistance

Where we operate

Current fields of assignment of our network – and we grow with every expertise that joins.

The list is not exhaustive. You bring a specialist field that is missing here? That’s exactly what we want to talk about.

How it works

We look at your situation individually: which tasks suit you, which industries do you know, which assignment length and which radius fit your life? From that we look for the projects that suit you – not the other way round.
