Your prospects

The Allgemeine Baugenossenschaft Zürich (ABZ) is the largest housing cooperative in Switzerland and manages over 5100 apartments. As a non-profit organization, we stand for affordable housing, social sustainability, pioneering architecture, and community-promoting living forms.

5 weeks of vacation, 6 weeks from age 50. The public holidays of the city of Zurich apply. Before Good Friday, Ascension Day, Christmas, and New Year, work ends at noon. In addition, ABZ supports various working time models so that you can optimally balance your professional and private life.

Team building Fun in the team is just as valuable as exciting tasks in everyday work. That is why we regularly meet for special events such as staff outings, Christmas dinners, information events, aperitifs, and sporting activities.

Contribution to training costs It is important to us that our employees continue to develop. For this purpose, ABZ provides 2 percent of the gross payroll as a training budget. ABZ's cost participation ranges from 25 to 100 percent depending on the training.

High participation in social benefits ABZ pays 65 percent of the pension fund contributions. In addition, it covers the premiums for daily sickness and accident insurance. In case of accidents, you receive a single room in the private ward and have free choice of doctors in Switzerland and abroad.

Employee counseling In difficult life situations, our employees can get help. You and your family members can receive anonymous and free advice from the company Lyra Switzerland on legal, emotional, and practical life issues.

Public transport contribution You receive the BonusPass at a discounted price or the half-fare travelcard for free. Both the office and our support points are located in the city of Zurich and are easily accessible by public transport.
