Questions about this listing
What salary does Lonza offer for this role?
Lonza lists CHF 85'500 - 129'500 gross per year for this position in CH. This is the salary published in the original listing (or, when the employer omits a figure, a realistic estimate for the role and sector) — the calculator on this site converts it to your actual net take-home once cross-border tax and social contributions are applied.
Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does Lonza 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 Lonza 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 Basel?
EU/EFTA residents living in the border zone of the country adjoining Canton Basel can apply for a G permit; the Swiss employer files it with that canton's migration office after the contract is signed. Border-zone rules and processing times vary by neighbouring country and canton, so confirm the specifics with Basel's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
