Full description
In this responsible role, you will take on a wide range of tasks related to grid operations and make an important contribution to the secure supply of electricity to the City of Zürich.
Tasks
- As part of a team of six specialists, you work with grid control and calculation systems and thus contribute to a secure electricity supply.
- You plan, review and approve switching orders in the medium- and high-voltage grid and issue switching instructions.
- You write documents and instructions in polished German for employees in the City of Zürich’s distribution grid area.
- You independently manage smaller projects and participate in larger projects as a representative of grid operations.
- After comprehensive onboarding, you provide on-call duty (Pikett) approximately eight times a year and, in the event of a supply outage, lead the coordination of incident management.
Profile
- Building on your basic training in electrical engineering with an EFZ (e.g. electrical installer or automation technician), you have completed a degree (FH or HF) in electrical or energy engineering.
- Ideally, you have already gained professional experience in medium or high voltage during or after your studies.
- Experience in grid calculation and operational management will be an added advantage.
- You keep a cool head even in stressful situations and, when on call (Pikett), can reach Zürich Oerlikon within 30 minutes.
- Your reliable and resilient nature is just as convincing as your service-oriented and forward-looking way of working.

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 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 Zürich's migration office after the contract is signed. Processing times vary by canton, so confirm the specifics with Zürich's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
