Are you someone who loves technical challenges and enjoys working where complex building technology meets teaching and research? Do you keep an overview even in dynamic situations and ensure that everything runs reliably? Then this position could be just right for you.

For the Hönggerberg site, we are looking immediately or by arrangement for a Building Technician specialising in Sanitary Systems (m/f/d) in the HC Building Area .

Job Description

In this versatile and responsible role, you will ensure the safe, trouble-free and energy-efficient operation of HVACSE systems together with your team. You plan, prioritise and coordinate maintenance and repair measures and ensure that the technical systems can be operated reliably and economically at all times.

You manage external service providers from deployment planning to quality control and ensure compliance with maintenance contracts and agreed services. You are also responsible for the planning, procurement and management of spare and reserve materials.

With your technical expertise, you actively drive the continuous optimisation of building technology systems. You analyse processes as well as control and regulation systems, identify improvement potentials and independently implement appropriate measures.

During commissioning and acceptance of new and existing systems, you contribute your HVACSE expertise purposefully and make an important contribution to safe and efficient operation. During construction and conversion projects, you represent the interests of building technology, coordinate interfaces with internal and external stakeholders, work closely with project teams and participate in construction meetings.
