What you can look forward to.
As a technician for security systems in the outdoor area, you are responsible for the construction, maintenance and servicing of the diverse security systems such as points, level crossing systems, signals or track vacancy detection systems. In addition, you diagnose faults and independently carry out demanding heavy mechanical work in the outdoor area of the security systems. We are looking for support at these locations in German-speaking Switzerland: Sargans, Olten and Lucerne. Attractive working conditions are important to us, even with irregular working hours. In return, you can enjoy empty swimming pools during the week and organise your leisure time more flexibly. Night and weekend work is additionally compensated with us – for example, 16 francs per hour for Sunday work. You also benefit from time surcharges. This means you have more free time than employees without night and weekend shifts. Our other benefits such as child allowances, free 2nd class GA and discounted travel abroad – also for the family – can be found on our website under " Benefits ".
