Automation Technician, 100 %

We are the pulse of Zürich and keep the city moving in 7.5 minute intervals. For this to work reliably and smoothly, a lot happens behind the scenes of VBZ. Our colleagues are employed in over 50 professions: in technology, IT, administration, transport development, service planning, infrastructure and in many other exciting areas of responsibility. Where we drive, Zürich lives. Join us.

Tasks ##

• Your task is anything but ordinary: As an Automation Technician in tram maintenance, you work together with your female colleagues to ensure that our trams keep moving - and in doing so, you move all of Zürich.
• What does your everyday life look like? You perform maintenance work and fault rectification on rail vehicles, schedule and monitor the arrivals and departures of tram vehicles or perform emergency and fault services.
• In addition, driving service assignments as a tram driver await you - including passenger transport. Not an everyday task! To meet this responsibility - after all, you are responsible for people and vehicles - you will complete two driving aptitude diagnostic tests as well as a medical examination by a company doctor before the first interview.
• After an extensive application process, a varied job with exciting career perspectives awaits you. All tasks are carried out in shift work, based on an annual plan. This means you already know today how you will work in 12 months and can plan your private life accordingly.
• Does that sound exciting? Then join us!

Profile ##

• Successfully completed training as an Automation Technician EFZ, Electromechanic, Agricultural Machinery Mechanic EFZ or Mechanical Engineer (Assembly).
• Driver's license Cat. B for passenger cars (as well as a corresponding vehicle for commuting in shift operation).
• Readiness for location- and time-flexible work.
• Independent way of working as well as customer and team orientation.
• Readiness for shift work (4-shift operation, also on weekends and public holidays).

We offer ##

• With us, you do not need to contribute to the costs of the daily sickness benefit insurance, and we also cover the lion's share of the NBU premium. This way, you quickly save over a thousand francs per year.
• We support you in staying physically and mentally fit: 500 francs for continuing education courses of your choice or for your sports subscription.
