Geoinformation moves Zurich. It is part of every planning, every construction project, and every decision with foresight.

As a GIS Infrastructure Specialist, you will take on a central role in the GIS unit at the Office for Spatial Development. Starting January 2026, you can expect a dedicated team of 20 people and the full range of geoinformation topics in the canton of Zurich.

For your future task – operation and further development of the system landscape of the cantonal GIS – you need solid knowledge in the administration of servers, networks, and databases, as well as experience with geodata and GNU/Linux. An interest in geoinformation and spatial issues rounds off your profile. You have an academic degree in computer science, geoinformatics, training as a system engineer (IT), or a comparable education.

Experience with Python, PowerShell, GitLab CI/CD, ArcGIS Enterprise, Docker, Kubernetes, Microsoft Azure, monitoring tools, and IT security, as well as knowledge of PostgreSQL/PostGIS, is an advantage. A structured, solution-oriented way of working and a strong interest in taking responsibility are also desirable.

Do you want to leave a mark? If you commit yourself together with us at the Building Department, you will shape the face of the canton of Zurich. We offer you an exciting environment – just 2 minutes from the main train station.

Juan Romero Abelleira is co-head of the GIS unit and may be your future supervisor. He is available for your specific questions: juan.romero@bd.zh.ch. We look forward to your online application. Your new environment: www.zh.ch/gis, more jobs: www.zh.ch/jobs.
