Your Tasks
Together with our domestic operations manager, you ensure orderly operations at two locations in Bülach and maintain the value of the buildings. At the Lindenhof school building, you are the main responsible caretaker and the first point of contact for the school management, teachers and suppliers.
In the role of caretaker, you bear significant material and professional responsibility. You plan, document and independently carry out inspection rounds and ensure building maintenance and operational building services. You lead the cleaning team (three internal and three external employees) and carry out cleaning work yourself if necessary. You plan work assignments, check timesheets and conduct employee discussions and evaluations. You are responsible for orders, monitor the budget and ensure that service agreements with third parties are adhered to. Your duties also include grounds maintenance (meadows, lawns, paving stones and grass grid stones). Your presence times are based on the needs of the school; occasional evening shifts during internal events are included.
You report to the domestic operations manager and support them in planning and organising repair work up to minor conversions. Our school faces major infrastructure projects in the coming years with the construction of an extension and the renovation of the main school building. These will present exciting but also challenging tasks for the building services department in terms of requirements and scope.

Your Profile
You have completed a recognised vocational training EFZ (e.g. electrical installer EFZ, heating/plumbing installer EFZ, facility maintenance specialist EFZ) and are passionate about your work. Ideally, you already hold the federal specialist certificate as a caretaker or are willing to complete the course within a reasonable period. Training as a vocational trainer and qualification as a safety officer for fire protection (GVZ, SiBe) are advantageous. User knowledge in IT (ECDL-Base) is required. Initial leadership experience is an advantage and you must enjoy working with people, as the caretaker is a central figure in various areas and deals daily with very different stakeholders.
Our Offer
We offer you a varied range of tasks with a diverse, independent and responsible activity. An engaged team within a lively school environment as well as attractive employment conditions according to cantonal personnel law await you.
