What you can look forward to.

As an internal signalling systems technician, you independently locate and rectify faults in our complex systems such as signal boxes and level crossings. You are the one who quickly gets our customers back on track! You take turns on the on-call duty weekly – and of course, there is fair compensation for this.

Together with a well-coordinated team, you not only check systems but also ensure the smooth operation of Switzerland’s largest transport company. Attractive working conditions are important to us, even with irregular working hours.
