Worldwide Hospitals (WWH) is a global leader in modular hospital solutions – both on land and at sea. Our mission as a global healthcare provider is to deliver flexible, mobile hospital systems that meet the highest medical standards – wherever and whenever they are needed around the world.
In April 2025, the WWH Group acquired the international project business of VAMED Engineering from Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, based in Vienna, Austria. What began with a clear vision has developed into an international success story:
Since 1984, VAMED Engineering has been driving the development, construction, and management of healthcare and care facilities worldwide – from the initial concept to full operational delivery. With over 1,000 successfully completed projects in more than 98 countries, VAMED is now one of the world’s leading partners for integrated healthcare solutions.
The merger of WWH and VAMED has created a strong, future-oriented alliance that combines cutting-edge medical infrastructure with decades of international project expertise. This merger opens up new development opportunities, global market access, and exciting career prospects within a dynamic, international corporate environment.
To strengthen our international operations, we are currently seeking a Director Biomedical Engineering (m/f/d) to lead and oversee our biomedical engineering strategy and operations.
This position can be based either in Hamburg, Berlin or Vienna.
