Role

Senior Building Surveyor / Office Manager

Location

Frankfurt, Germany

Setareh Ghalari manages the Frankfurt office in Germany and serves as the crucial link between colleagues and management. Her responsibilities extend beyond project management to include training and overseeing her team.

Setareh’s motivation stems from supporting her colleagues’ development, and the significant responsibility that comes with her management role. She thrives on the challenges and rewards of guiding her team and ensuring the Frankfurt office runs operations smoothly. Her passion for structure and organisation, essential qualities for a mother of a young child working part-time, align perfectly with the demands of the Technical Due Diligence sector, known for its precisely timed processes. This sector also offers a balanced mix of office work and on-site inspections, suiting her well-organised schedule.

Gleeds' career opportunities attracted Setareh to the company, where she began as a junior consultant in 2011 right after graduation. She has grown with the company, valuing the respect that defines its work culture.

Setareh advises prospective Gleeds employees to remain open to new experiences, be curious, and seize opportunities while enjoying their work. Her proudest achievement at Gleeds is her active role in shaping progress as a manager, reflecting her commitment to continuous improvement and leadership.

Outside of work, Setareh cherishes time with her family. Watching her son grow and develop is a source of immense joy, as is spending sunny days gardening. If she hadn’t pursued her current career, she imagines she would be involved in something creative and communicative, reflecting her varying interests and talents.
