Full description
We are the pulse of Zurich and keep the city in motion every 7.5 minutes. In order for this to work reliably and smoothly, a lot moves behind the scenes of the VBZ. Our colleagues work in over 50 professions: in technology, IT, administration, traffic development, offer planning, infrastructure and many other exciting areas of responsibility. Where we drive, Zurich lives. Get on.
Tasks
- Your job is anything but ordinary: As an automatic technician in the maintenance tram, you and your colleagues ensure that our trams remain in motion – and that you move the whole of Zurich.
- What is your everyday life like? You perform maintenance and troubleshooting on rail vehicles, schedule and monitor entries and exits of the tram vehicles or provide emergency and troubleshooting services.
- In addition, you can expect driving assignments as a tram driver – including passenger transport. Not an everyday task! In order to live up to this responsibility – after all, you are responsible for people and vehicles – you complete two driving aptitude diagnostic tests and a trusted medical examination before the initial consultation.
- After an extensive application process, a varied job with exciting career prospects awaits you. All tasks are performed in shift service, based on annual planning. This means that you already know how to work in 12 months and can plan your private life accordingly.
- Does that sound exciting? Then come with us!
Profile
- Successfully completed training as an automatic engineer EFZ, electromechanic, agricultural machinery mechanic EFZ or machine mechanic (assembly).
- Cat. B driving licence for passenger cars (and a corresponding vehicle for travelling in shift operation).
- Willingness to work flexibly in terms of location and time.
- Independent working methods as well as customer and team orientation.
- Readiness for shift work (4-shift operation, also on weekends and public holidays).
We offer
- The people of Zurich are real public transport fans and appreciate what you do.
- With us you do not need to participate in the costs of the medical day allowance insurance, and we also take over the lion's share of the NBU premium. So you save quickly over a thousand francs a year.
- We support you to stay physically and mentally fit: 500 francs for further education courses of your choice or for your sports subscription.

Questions about this listing
What salary does Stadt Zürich offer for this role?
The original listing does not state a salary. Our estimate for this role and sector in Zürich is CHF 73'500 - 111'500 gross per year — an estimate, not a figure communicated by Stadt Zürich. The calculator on this site converts a gross salary into 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 Stadt Zürich 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 Stadt Zürich 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 Zürich?
EU/EFTA residents living in the border zone of the country adjoining Canton Zürich 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 Zürich's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
