Overview

As service and commissioning technician in a dynamic team, your responsibilities will include the professional installation and commissioning of state-of-the-art laboratory workbenches and cleanroom systems for our customers.

In addition to this core task, you will carry out relocations, handle service work including repairs, and perform qualifications on our state-of-the-art systems directly at our customers’ sites. In doing so, you will regularly work in demanding laboratory and cleanroom environments.

Your area of operation covers the regions of Bern, Lausanne, and Valais. Therefore, your place of residence should ideally be within this service area. If returning home on the same day is not feasible, you will stay overnight directly at the job site.

You will work hand in hand with motivated and extremely helpful teammates, while your supervisor will support you to the best of their ability to ensure the smooth execution of your tasks.
