the posting
We are seeking a highly motivated Automation Technician (Automaticien CFC) who enjoys seeing a project through from the initial drawing to the final wired product.
This role offers a perfect balance between office design work and hands-on workshop execution . You will not be stuck behind a desk all day, nor will you simply be executing someone else's plans. You will design the electrical schematics, program the basic automation, and then build and wire the very cabinets you designed.
Key Responsibilities
Engineering & Design (40%)
Design and draw complete electrical schematics for simple to medium-complexity control cabinets using AutoCAD Electrical .
Select and size electrical components, hardware, and sensors for industrial applications.
Develop and implement basic PLC programming and automation logic, primarily using Siemens environments (e.g., TIA Portal, LOGO!).
Update and modernize electrical blueprints for existing legacy equipment.
Workshop & Execution (60%)
Assemble, mount, and wire electrical control panels from scratch based on your own schematics.
Perform mechanical preparation of enclosures and backplates.
Conduct testing, troubleshooting, and quality control of the finished cabinets before deployment.
Ensure all wiring and assembly comply with current safety standards and industry best practices.
Your Profile & Qualifications
You hold a Swiss Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training as an Automation Technician ( Automaticien CFC ).
Good working proficiency in English is required. Fluent English is a strong advantage. You must be able to read technical documentation, draft reports, and communicate effectively in English.
Experience with AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, or similar electrical CAD software
Practical knowledge of Siemens PLC hardware and basic programming.
You are autonomous, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy the dual nature of doing both intellectual design and meticulous manual work.
A Strong Advantage (Bonus):
Knowledge of UL standards for electrical devices and industrial control panels (UL 508A, etc.) is a major plus.
What We Offer
A highly varied role where no two days are exactly the same.
The satisfaction of complete project ownership—from CAD to physical commissioning.
The opportunity to work on meaningful industrial processes and specialized control systems.
A dynamic, highly technical work environment in Switzerland.
