Jobs & Career
Working in maintenance
Pretty smart
You have put stock in the right training: automation engineers, electronics engineers, automotive mechatronics engineers and electricians, but also multi-skilled mechanics and farm machinery mechanics are in demand. With us, for example. At the locations of Bönigen, Spiez, Oberburg and Givisiez, over 250 maintenance staff are responsible for “their” train and every day ensure that thousands of customers reach their destination safely and on time. An important job with a lot of responsibility.
Anyone switching to BLS is making a good move. Betting on the future card, they also stand to benefit from some distinct advantages:
