Group Leader Infrastructure & Environment (80-100 %)

Start of position:

1 June 2027

Work location:

Erlach

We are using retirements in the service area to reorganize our existing structures. In doing so, we are merging the Technical Service and the previous areas of operation of Schlossallmend under a single management.

For the development and leadership of this newly bundled area, we are looking for a practically-minded, strong-leading, and responsible personality as of 1 June 2027.

Your area of responsibility is exceptionally versatile: it ranges from the Technical Service and the maintenance of our historical properties to gardening and agriculture with small animal husbandry, to the management of our Seemätteli on the lake shore. In addition to reliable operation, these areas of work have another significance in the SHE: they can offer children and adolescents practical experience, success experiences, and alternative learning and relief opportunities.

Your tasks

• Develop and lead the area: You will lead the employees of Infrastructure & Environment both personally and operationally and develop a single, well-functioning area from the previous fields of work.
• Ensure operation: Together with your team, you will ensure the maintenance, care, safety, and preservation of value of our historical castle complex, the other properties, facilities, machinery, and infrastructure, as well as winter and weekend services.
• Coordinate diverse areas of work: Technical Service, garden, agriculture with small animal husbandry, and Seemätteli belong to your area of responsibility. You plan resources and deployments and ensure functioning processes.
• Create agogic opportunities: Together with the area management and the pedagogical specialists, you enable suitable practical assignments for students. In doing so, you contribute your professional competencies and create manageable, meaningful, and authentic work assignments.
• Work interdisciplinary: You are in exchange with the school, social pedagogy/living, and the other service areas and contribute to implementing suitable learning and relief offers.
• Organize and take responsibility: Work and deployment planning, co-responsibility for the budget, administrative tasks, reporting, and participation in relevant internal bodies are also part of your function.

Your profile

• Professional background: You have a manual, technical, agricultural, or comparable basic vocational training and bring sound professional experience.
• Leadership: You have already taken on leadership responsibility or have equivalent professional and practical experience that qualifies you to lead a versatile team.
• Agogic openness: Agogic training is not required. Experience in accompanying children or adolescents, work-agogic knowledge, or comparable experience is a plus. What is decisive is your willingness to engage with our pedagogical-agogic mandate and implement it together with the specialists.
• Way of working: You work independently, pragmatically, and solution-oriented, can set priorities, and maintain an overview even in a diverse working environment.
• Personality: You lead clearly and appreciatively, are a team player and resilient, and enjoy connecting people, craftsmanship, nature, and operations.

We offer you

• You do not take over a fully defined area, but can actively help shape the merger of Technical Service, garden, agriculture, and Seemätteli.
• You receive a versatile leadership function with high personal responsibility, an exceptional working environment, and the opportunity to additionally use your professional competencies for the development of young people.
• You can expect an appreciative, solution-oriented working atmosphere and employment conditions according to the cantonal regulations of the Directorate for the Interior and Justice.
