When asked what motivates him every day, Martin Sauter is quick to answer: “Every day brings its own set of challenges and surprises, which is exactly what makes my work so fascinating.” As a project manager in underground cable construction for Omexom Germany, Martin coordinates projects in their entirety, from preparation of the estimate to final administrative wrap-up, handling project team coordination, scheduling, procurement and budget tracking in between. But his role goes far beyond traditional project management. At 27, Martin Sauter is a committed conductor, equally present in the field as in the office. 

He is currently managing the largest project of his career, worth close to €2 million, for the customer Netze BW. Along with their technical performance, Martin emphasises the important social impacts of these projects. “We’re helping to modernise electricity networks, which are an essential lever for the energy transition. Our work also underpins renewable energies and ensures a secure energy supply. This gives meaning to what we’re doing.“
