Uetikon am See is an attractive residential and working community on Lake Zurich. An active village life, modern infrastructure and forward-looking projects shape the development of our community.

• Administration related to clients’ housing
• Organisation and support with moves
• Work in the department secretariat (correspondence, list maintenance, data filing)
