About the job
Fixed-term position
Office for Building Permits
Due to a recent revision of the building and zoning regulations, private second homes and business apartments no longer count towards the permissible residential share under certain conditions. This means that private second homes and business apartments are checked for their legality and, if necessary, must be converted to lawful use.
To ensure a swift and smooth enforcement, we are looking for a committed and quality-conscious individual for our task force on a fixed-term basis for three years. The informal culture at the AfB starts with us even before the first day of work. Therefore, we allow ourselves to address you informally.
Tasks
- You handle standardised procedures to verify and ensure lawful uses in connection with short-term rentals. This includes receiving notifications, conducting fact-finding investigations, preparing decisions for the building section, and, if necessary, enforcing administrative coercive measures.
- You ensure the professional provision of information on process and detailed questions to applicants.
- You work closely with internal specialist departments and external stakeholders to ensure legally compliant, uniform, and effective enforcement practice.
Profile
- In addition to a completed commercial apprenticeship or equivalent training, you bring relevant further education (e.g. CAS public building law, federal specialist in public administration, etc.).
- You have several years of experience in public administration, in the permitting process, or in sovereign enforcement.
- You are also confident in handling databases, registers, and electronic case management systems.
- You use your negotiation skills, positive charisma, and persuasiveness profitably.
- We also count on your initiative and openness to new things.
- Additionally, you bring flexibility and a touch of humour.
- Your confident oral and written expression in German completes your profile.
We offer
- You are part of a motivated, multi-generational team and a company culture that is both performance- and people-oriented (informal culture).
- We ensure a thorough introduction as well as a varied and versatile activity.
- Our attractive employment conditions are contemporary and include above-average social benefits.
- We also offer flexible working hours, the possibility of mobile working, and office premises in close proximity to the main station.
- The position is limited to three years. Possible follow-up opportunities can be examined if interested and with the appropriate professional qualifications.
