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 Valais?
EU/EFTA residents living in the border zone of the country adjoining Canton Valais can apply for a G permit; the Swiss employer files it with that canton's migration office after the contract is signed.
