Courtepin
Urban Planning and Construction Specialist
- 21 August 2026
- 80 – 100%
- Permanent position
About the job
At the crossroads of French-speaking and German-speaking cultures, the municipality of Courtepin was created in 2017 from the merger of the municipalities of Barberêche, Courtepin, Villarepos and Wallenried. It now brings together more than 5,800 inhabitants, mostly French-speaking, across 6 villages (including Courtaman and Pensier) spread over a territory of 25.88 km².
The municipality benefits from its proximity to Fribourg and Morat and constitutes a developing area, combining agriculture, housing and economic activities. It thus occupies an important position in the Lac district, where it is the second largest municipality by population after Morat, and asserts itself as one of its economic hubs, alongside Morat and Chiètres.
