Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does Georg Fischer offer?
This listing is a full-time position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with Georg Fischer during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
Do I need a cross-border work permit for a role in Schaffhausen?
EU/EFTA citizens living in an EU/EFTA state can apply for a G permit and can work anywhere in Switzerland: border zones no longer apply to them, and they must return home at least once a week. The Swiss employer files the request with Canton Schaffhausen's migration office after the contract is signed. Processing times vary by canton, so confirm the specifics with Schaffhausen's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
