What you can look forward to.

You can expect a meaningful role in a versatile and varied field of work in civil engineering. In this position, you can apply and deepen your knowledge in civil engineering as well as develop and implement economical solutions for the maintenance and repair of bridges, culverts, and retaining structures. Benefits such as a free GA travelcard, discounted travel abroad – also for the family – can be found on our website under Benefits.

What you will achieve.

• Furthermore, you bring cost and responsibility awareness, assertiveness, and decisiveness. You communicate appropriately and solution-oriented with a wide range of stakeholders.
• For carrying out railway-adjacent control activities and maintenance measures, we require that you complete internal training in worksite safety (self-protection, safety supervisor) and can move independently in the track area.
• You hold a degree in civil engineering (ETH/University/FH) or a comparable qualification. Experience in monitoring and maintaining civil engineering structures is an advantage.
