What you can look forward to.
Together with the team of the Central Region, you are responsible for a construction portfolio of around 600 million Swiss francs per year. Together we make a significant contribution to the maintenance and further development of the rail infrastructure for a strong public transport system. In the team, we support each other in our tasks and benefit from the diverse knowledge and experiences of the individual team members. Open communication is just as important to us in the team as professional and collegial collaboration. A strong customer orientation is central to us, both in our area of responsibility and in cooperation with the partners of the preceding and subsequent processes. Benefits such as a free GA travelcard, discounted travel abroad - also for the family - can be found on our website under Benefits .
What you can achieve.
- Developing and managing the construction portfolio plan in assigned traffic axes, the rayons of the Central Region, is your main task. You contribute significantly to ensuring that a comprehensive view of ongoing and future projects is available in the region.
- Together with your partners, you define the framework conditions for construction execution and its impact on rail operation capacity. From the study phase onwards, you develop concepts for necessary intervals such as track closures, logistics, and construction methods, taking into account cost-benefit considerations as well as the interests of the construction project and line capacity.
- You identify conflicts of objectives, capacity bottlenecks, and synergies early and develop solution proposals. You identify and accompany key and anchor projects to bundle construction activities.
- Across projects, you review construction phases early in critical perimeters to gain an overall view of network-wide capacity impacts. In case of conflict, you support partners in developing solutions that represent the optimum from the overall system perspective.
- You ensure a coordinated view of the construction portfolio and actively bring the network management perspective into planning.
What you bring with you.
- Solution-oriented collaboration is important to you and you enjoy working in a team. You are proactive, work independently, and are decisive. You like to use your scope of action. You are assertive with a strong ability to act integratively. You remain calm under pressure and set the right priorities.
- You quickly familiarise yourself with complex issues, can think in possible solution variants, and are able to gain an overall view.
- In a dynamic project environment, you easily adapt repeatedly to new framework conditions and external influences.
- For this demanding work in holistic construction portfolio planning, you bring several years of experience in infrastructure, rail, operations, or large project environments, understand the interrelations between railway operations, infrastructure, network capacity, and construction activity, and hold a university or university of applied sciences degree in a relevant field, e.g. civil engineering, transport, or infrastructure management.
- Very good German skills at level C2 are a must. Knowledge of a second national language at level B1 is an advantage.
