Offer

Overhead lines and everything that goes with them, that is our world. We cover everything that is needed: consulting, development and design, planning, execution and service. We even develop CAD applications and software solutions ourselves. This breadth makes our projects and your work highly demanding. Here you can really make a difference. 
At the beginning of your activity, you will receive targeted insight into the overhead line planning department in a project management function for at least six months. This way you get to know the operational processes and technical framework conditions and can optimally align your static planning accordingly. 
We offer you an exciting and varied working environment based on trust, responsibility and team spirit. You work independently with great responsibility and actively contribute your ideas. In addition, you benefit from flexible working hours and other attractive employment conditions. Our office is centrally located in the city of Bern.
