GIS Specialist for Water Protection 60 - 80%
Do you want to play a central role in protecting our waters? Then become part of the Water Protection Department! We are committed to protecting Zurich's waters – whether groundwater or surface waters such as lakes, rivers, and streams. To strengthen our team, we are looking for a motivated GIS specialist as soon as possible.
Your tasks
- You are the central contact point for all GIS topics and applications in our department and continuously develop them further
- You independently implement GIS assignments – from the initial idea to the finished map or application
- You work closely and solution-oriented in the team and with experienced GIS colleagues from the office and the Building Department – coordination, exchange, support, and joint learning are of course part of it
Your profile
- You have a completed university of applied sciences/university degree in geoinformation, geomatics, geography, or a related field
- You have several years of professional experience in the GIS environment – ideally in the public sector or a comparable organization
- You work confidently with GIS tools such as ArcGIS Pro and FME.
- Knowledge of Python and ArcGIS Enterprise is an advantage
- You think customer-oriented, communicate clearly, and can convey complex contexts understandably
- You work structured, proactively, and keep an overview even with parallel projects
- You like to take responsibility – both for your tasks and for the further development of products and processes
What to expect
We work collegially, straightforwardly, and with joy in the team. The compatibility of work and private life is a central part of our culture. Flexible working hours, mobile work, as well as diverse opportunities for professional and personal development are a matter of course for us – and all just a few minutes from Zurich main station.
Andrew Faeh is the head of the department – and maybe soon your new supervisor. He is available for your specific questions: 043 259 39 42. We look forward to your online application! Your new environment: zh.ch/awel, more jobs: zh.ch/jobs.
