MECHANIC FOR SPECIAL VEHICLES (M/F/D)

WORKLOAD | 80-100%

WORKPLACE | ZURICH AIRPORT

Agricultural machinery | Construction machinery | Commercial vehicles | Vehicle technology

YOU KNOW MECHANICS. WE TEACH YOU AIRPORT.

Pushback tractors that move aircraft. Highloaders, baggage tractors, passenger stairs and special vehicles you won’t find in a normal workshop.

This is exactly what you will be working on with us – right in the middle of Zurich Airport.

This is what you will be responsible for with us:

• You maintain, repair and overhaul our special vehicles – from pushback tractors to baggage tractors to highloaders.
• You detect faults in mechanics, hydraulics, electrics and electronics and find solutions even for tricky cases.
• Technical modifications and adjustments are just as much a part of your work as searching for new, better solutions.
• Your know-how and ideas are in demand – you don’t just complete orders.
• Your work ensures that our vehicles are reliably ready for use and that flight operations run smoothly.

This is what you bring with you:

• You have training as an agricultural machinery, construction machinery, commercial vehicle or vehicle mechanic – or bring solid experience as a technical all-rounder.
• You are familiar with electrics and/or hydraulics or are keen to expand your knowledge in these areas.
• Independent, reliable work and a high standard of quality are a matter of course for you.
• Even when it gets technically tricky, you persevere, think along and find a solution.
• German in everyday work as well as shift work between 06:00 and 23:30, including weekends, suit you.

This is what you can look forward to:

• You work with technology that not everyone knows – on an extraordinary vehicle fleet instead of in a run-of-the-mill workshop.
• You benefit from a 39-hour week and 5 weeks’ holiday.
• With the attractive flight discounts of our airline partners, you are well equipped for private travel too.
• You receive discounts on public transport, insurance and various partner offers.
• You develop professionally – around special vehicles, electrification, hydraulics and electronics – and work in an international environment directly at Zurich Airport.

Never worked on a pushback tractor before? No problem.

You bring the technical understanding. We teach you the airport.

Sounds better than your current workshop routine? Then we should get to know each other.
