BauWatch is Europe's #1 in temporary security solutions, growing 30% YoY. We're in 11 countries, 44,000+ projects completed, and we're moving fast.
Our vision:
“Zero incidence, faster delivery - through connected site intelligence that protects by design.”
We combine ruggedized monitoring towers, sensors, access control solutions, intelligent edge devices, fleet management, and 24/7 remote monitoring into a connected system. Construction and temporary sites are among the most dangerous work environments - we're building the intelligence to catch security and safety threats before they become incidents.
As the Product Owner for BauWatch CheckIn and the Worker App, you own the "Worker" side of our unified platform. You are responsible for the digital experience that connects workers on the ground to corporate site managers, ensuring that access control is seamless, compliant, and data-driven. You aren't just building an app; you are transforming how the construction industry manages its workforce and site safety through digital-first thinking that respects hardware reality.
This isn't a maintenance role. We're scaling aggressively and need someone who can handle the full scope from gathering and translating business requirements, to supporting and owning the commercial success of the product lines.
