Walter Herz Expands Services with New Project Management Division

12 May 2026

Walter Herz has expanded its range of services by establishing a Project Management division focused on the fit-out and modernisation of commercial spaces.

The new department will be led by Helena Kudrewicz-Czarniecka, who joins the company as Associate Director / Project Manager. In her role, she will oversee the development of the division, coordinate cooperation with investors and manage fit-out projects from planning through to delivery.

According to the company, the addition of project management services is intended to provide clients with broader support during leasing and workspace delivery processes, while improving coordination over schedules, budgets and project execution. Walter Herz stated that integrating advisory and project delivery services within one structure is also expected to simplify communication and reduce operational risks for tenants and investors.

The company said the new business line forms part of its strategy to strengthen its position as a real estate advisory firm offering support throughout the entire process, from location selection to the handover of completed office space.

Kudrewicz-Czarniecka has more than 20 years of experience as an architect and project manager in the commercial fit-out sector. During her career, she has worked on office, retail, hospitality and exhibition projects across several hundred thousand square metres of space.

Her previous experience includes projects delivered for companies and organisations such as DIL Polska Baumanagement, BNM Poland, Telewizja Polsat, Globalworth, The Tides Property Group, Netia, Business Link and Lotte Wedel.

Commenting on her appointment, Helena Kudrewicz-Czarniecka said that companies seeking support in workspace design and fit-out can benefit from improved cost control, delivery timelines and project quality, while reducing investment-related risks. She added that the role of a project manager extends beyond coordination and includes protecting the client’s interests throughout the implementation process.

Magdalena Zagrodnik, Partner and Board Member at Walter Herz, said the launch of fit-out services supports the company’s strategy of expanding internal competencies and providing clients with broader long-term support in the real estate market.

14 August 2026 Skanska JV secures USD 1.9 billion Los Angeles light rail contract 14 August 2026 Poland’s Job Market Edges Higher as Construction and Logistics Hiring StrengthensPoland’s recruitment market continued to improve in July, although the latest data suggest that the recovery remains gradual rather than signalling a broad acceleration in hiring. The Barometr Ofert Pracy, which tracks changes in the number of employment advertisements published online, increased to 261.5 points in July 2026, compared with 261.1 points in June and 258.5 points a year earlier. The indicator has been rising since April, but the strength of the monthly increases has progressively weakened. The survey is prepared by the Department of Economics and Finance at the University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów together with the Bureau for Investments and Economic Cycles (BIEC). It is based on online job advertisements collected each month and adjusted to remove seasonal effects, providing an indication of changes in employers’ demand for new workers. BOP 8.2026.pdf The July results reveal increasingly different conditions between sectors. Recruitment in services is recovering, construction and engineering are showing stronger demand and logistics is improving, while vacancies for physical workers continue to decline. Construction recruitment reaches four-year high One of the clearest improvements is visible in construction. Among occupations requiring scientific or engineering qualifications, vacancies increased across almost every category in July, with IT the exception. Construction recorded a particularly strong result, with the number of advertised positions reaching its highest level in four years. BOP 8.2026.pdf Recruitment of engineers is also recovering. Following several years of declining vacancy numbers, demand has been gradually rebuilding and reached its highest level for two years following the latest increase. BOP 8.2026.pdf For the property and infrastructure sectors, the figures point towards stronger competition for technically qualified employees as construction activity requires additional engineering and specialist capacity. The improvement does not extend equally across the entire labour market. Vacancies for physical occupations declined again during July and have been following a clear downward trajectory since around the middle of 2024. BOP 8.2026.pdf This divergence suggests that employers’ recruitment requirements are becoming increasingly specialised rather than simply expanding across all categories of labour. Logistics hiring continues to recover Logistics is another area showing clearer signs of strengthening demand. The number of logistics vacancies has increased since April and reached its highest level since January 2024 in July. Recruitment in freight forwarding is also following an upward trend. BOP 8.2026.pdf The figures are relevant to Poland’s industrial and logistics property sector because employment demand provides another indication of operating activity among companies occupying warehouses, distribution centres and transport facilities. Services more broadly produced the largest increase in vacancies among the main occupational groups during July. Following more than a year of adjustment, recruitment in this part of the economy has been improving since the beginning of 2026, with July producing the highest number of advertisements since September 2024. BOP 8.2026.pdf Tourism recruitment also strengthened, reaching its highest level in more than 18 months, while education recorded a double-digit monthly percentage increase in vacancies, although demand in the sector remained substantially below the level recorded a year earlier. BOP 8.2026.pdf IT recovery remains fragile Technology presents a more complicated picture. Vacancies for both IT administration and programming declined in July, with the reduction somewhat greater among programmers. Nevertheless, the longer-term direction has improved modestly, with IT vacancies gradually increasing over approximately the past 18 months. BOP 8.2026.pdf The recovery remains far from complete. Demand for IT workers is still significantly below the levels recorded before the economic disruption associated with the pandemic, with the gap particularly pronounced for programmers. BOP 8.2026.pdf Meanwhile, within social-science and legal occupations, recruitment has been broadly stable since October 2025. July brought some improvement for call-centre employees, purchasing departments and lawyers, while vacancies declined for graphic designers, office workers and banking positions. BOP 8.2026.pdf Regional differences remain substantial The recovery is also uneven geographically. After seasonal employment was excluded, online vacancies increased in most Polish regions during July. The strongest monthly increases were recorded in Warmińsko-Mazurskie, Podkarpackie and Śląskie, while the largest decreases occurred in Wielkopolskie, Zachodniopomorskie and Dolnośląskie. BOP 8.2026.pdf At the same time, labour-market conditions are not improving across every measure. The seasonally adjusted registered unemployment rate increased by 0.1 percentage point in June to 6.1%, its highest level since May 2021, according to the report. BOP 8.2026.pdf The combination of slightly higher unemployment and gradually increasing vacancies points towards a labour market undergoing structural adjustment rather than a straightforward hiring boom. The report’s labour-market diagram on page three places July 2026 close to the boundary between improving qualifications and a stronger employment outlook, illustrating the relatively tentative nature of the current recovery. BOP 8.2026.pdf For Poland’s property sector, however, the composition of hiring may be more important than the headline movement in the index. Increasing demand for construction specialists, engineers, logistics workers and freight-forwarding employees coincides with sectors directly connected to development, infrastructure and industrial real estate. The July Barometr therefore points to a labour market moving forward slowly but becoming increasingly differentiated: employers are recruiting again in selected areas, while other occupations continue to face weaker demand. Construction and logistics currently stand out among the areas where that improvement is becoming most visible. 14 August 2026 NBI Analysis: Bucharest Strengthens Its Position in CEE 14 August 2026 How Transit-Oriented Development Has Shaped Japan’s Real Estate Success 14 August 2026 Croatia proposes 50% levy on exceptional 2026 corporate profit margins 14 August 2026 NEPI Rockcastle enters Spain with €252 million acquisition of MegaPark Barakaldo 14 August 2026 GN Group takes more than 30,000 sqm at Panattoni’s Kladno brownfield development
