The government of the Canton of St. Gallen has filled the vacant position of head of the structural engineering office with Erol Doguoglu. The architect is currently Cantonal Master Builder at the Canton of Thurgau.
Erol Doguoglu will take up his new position on May 1. He has worked in various planning and architectural offices, including as a member of the management or partner. For six years, he already worked as a city architect for the structural engineering office of the city of St. Gallen. Since 2015, he has headed the cantonal building construction office in Thurgau.
