Infrastructure engineering for railways, roads, and bridges with design and supervision
PTB Magdeburg is a mid-sized civil engineering consultancy focused on transportation infrastructure (railways, bridges, roads, stations). Their tech stack is heavy on CAD and BIM tools—AutoCAD, Revit, MicroStation, Allplan, Civil 3D—with adoption of Revit and iTWO underway. The hiring mix (engineering-dominant, 72 of 137 roles) and project list (railway bridges, circuit protection systems, vegetation maintenance) reveal a firm scaling delivery capacity while grappling with recurring pain points: time-budget compliance, schedule coordination, and workflow optimization across multiple concurrent projects.
PTB Magdeburg, founded in 1992, provides consulting engineering services for infrastructure clients in Germany and Switzerland. The firm specializes in design and supervision of railways, roads, bridges, and stations, with environmental engineers embedded in project management. Their 201–500 employee base is concentrated in engineering (72 roles) and on-site construction supervision (53 roles). Active projects span railway bridge construction, electrical infrastructure planning, and vegetation maintenance—work that demands tight schedule and budget control across distributed teams.
AutoCAD, Revit, MicroStation, Allplan, Civil 3D, and BIM are core. They are actively adopting Revit and iTWO, and also use SOFiSTiK for structural analysis and DIALux for electrical design.
