Concrete Structural Engineer with a focus on Finite Element Modeling

Fiber Elements GmbH was founded in 2023 in the start-up center of the Montanuniversität Leoben and focuses on the development and production of non-metallic reinforcement systems in construction. The company primarily works with the mineral material basalt, which is processed into complex three-dimensional reinforcement systems using so-called rovings (fiber bundles) on automated production lines, and is used in a variety of precast concrete elements. In addition to the textile reinforcement systems, another key focus is on the development and digital control of fully automated production lines, which can also be operated at customer sites. Fiber Elements is a dynamic and rapidly growing start-up with reputable investors, renowned research partners, and promising customers. The company is expanding its team of 12 employees and filling key positions in the organization to support the upcoming growth.
