Head: Fundamentals & Education 80–100%

About the job

The future of rail production is not only created on the tracks. It is created through learning.

The rail production of SZU is continuously evolving. New technologies, increasing demands and increasingly networked collaboration shape our everyday life. At the same time, the expectation of employees to master their profession, take responsibility and continuously develop themselves is rising. Sustainable development arises where learning is possible, knowledge is shared and experiences are consistently incorporated into improvements.

As Head of Fundamentals & Education, you shape the foundations for learning, empowerment and further development throughout the entire rail production. You are responsible for the areas of regulations, training and further education, examination system as well as the systematic follow-up along the integrated rail production (ISB and EVU) and are a member of the operations management team. In everyday life, you ensure that operational requirements are implemented in an up-to-date, understandable and effective manner. Together with your team, you continuously develop training and further education, plan and coordinate educational formats and ensure that learning is tangible in everyday work and not just on paper. An important part of your task is the follow-up of incidents, key figures and experiences from daily business. These insights are structured and processed by you and your team and translated into concrete improvements. In this way, you make a direct contribution to safety, quality and the further development of our rail production.

You have several years of leadership and professional experience in a rail operational or comparable safety-relevant environment and enjoy developing people and organisations. You understand how learning, competence building and continuous improvement work in practice and combine conceptual thinking with a pragmatic, solution-oriented implementation. Experience in the areas of training and further education, regulations, examination system or quality and improvement processes is helpful. We also value experience from other safety-critical industries such as aviation or industry, where learning and safety culture are firmly anchored. You convince through clarity, reliability and a structured and solution-oriented way of working.

What we offer you as Head of Fundamentals & Education

You work in the heart of Zurich and can tackle diverse challenges with great scope for design in a future-oriented rail company, take responsibility and actively drive the development of a learning organisation within rail production. In addition to convincing working and employment conditions, you will receive attractive additional benefits from us. In addition, all employees receive appreciation and respect.
