Foreman as Operations Manager Construction Business (100%)

About the job

Our goal is to impart skills to young people so that they can independently find their way in life. For this, social pedagogy, school, therapy, and vocational training work closely together. In our businesses, young people learn a profession – accompanied by professionals who not only understand their craft but also people.

You are a cool character, have some skills, and want to combine your craft with real responsibility? We are looking for a foreman as soon as possible to complement our construction business in Hausen am Albis.

Foreman as Operations Manager Construction Business (100%)

This excites you

• You keep the threads together: You organise our construction business with 3–4 employees and around 5 apprentices, plan orders and deployments, and ensure everyone knows what to do and when
• You are a professional and get stuck in: Whether bricklaying, plastering, conversion, or renovation work – you are in the thick of it, not just on the sidelines
• You lead with head and heart: You have your team under control, can delegate responsibility, and find the right tone even in the sometimes somewhat turbulent daily life with young people
• You make craftsmen of tomorrow: You support our apprentices professionally and personally, prepare them for the final apprenticeship exam, and take on vocational school teaching as part of our training
• You have a good touch with customers: You present yourself professionally, find solutions, and ensure that our orders are completed cleanly, reliably, and to the satisfaction of our customers
• You don’t just want to manage: You contribute ideas, develop the business further, and make Albisbrunn a better place for training every day

This is what you bring

• You have training in the construction trade, ideally as a foreman, and bring several years of professional experience in the Swiss construction industry
• Leadership experience, organisational talent, and entrepreneurial thinking are among your strengths
• You have control over costs, budgets, deadlines, and quality and work independently and reliably
• You are a vocational trainer or keen to undertake this training and enjoy passing on your expertise clearly and with enthusiasm
• You are open, a team player, appreciative, and eager to support young people with different strengths, challenges, and development speeds
• You speak and understand Swiss German and can communicate clearly, appropriately, and straightforwardly with young people, employees, and customers

This awaits you

• a wonderfully beautiful workplace
• a lively team, perhaps the best in the world
• flat hierarchies
• at least 5 weeks’ holiday
• an unusual, interesting environment of a youth home
• staff restaurant, private use of fitness room, swimming pond, sports hall with climbing wall, and much more
