About the job
50-100%
You are where Switzerland makes railway history: While trains run reliably every day in the Lötschberg Base Tunnel, you advance the construction of the second tube – a masterstroke under full load. Meanwhile, the Engstlige Tunnel is growing, which will make Alpine traffic even more efficient in the future. Your commitment ensures strong, storm-proof connections for people and goods and empowers sustainable mobility.
About BLS
With almost 4000 employees, BLS is the second largest railway company in Switzerland. More than that: we are also a shipping company, a real estate firm, an international freight railway, a bus company, and we transport cars safely through the Lötschberg and Simplon. What unites us? Pride in what we do every day. Mobility has many facets for us. And many exciting jobs.
