Holcim offers high-value end-to-end Building Materials and Building Solutions, from foundation and flooring to walling and roofing – powered by premium brands including ECOPact, ECOPlanet, ECOCycle, and Ytong.

Role Overview: Support the Holcim Group and provide advanced electrical and automation engineering support for greenfield and brownfield plants across all project phases (definition, planning, and execution) as our Electrical and Automation Engineer based in Zug Switzerland. This role focuses on industrial CAPEX projects in Cement and Geocycle operations globally as well as large-scale Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) initiatives

Main Responsibilities: - Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) - Drive a strong safety culture across all engineering activities, integrating "Safety in Design" and "Safety in Construction" principles. - Ensure full compliance with Group HSE standards, security policies, and technical regulations across all assigned projects. - Project Conceptualization & Feasibility - Develop robust, safe, and cost-effective electrical and automation engineering concepts for business cases, feasibility studies, and tender packages. - Analyse plant KPIs to assist CAPEX Project Managers in establishing accurate CAPEX/OPEX estimates and production targets. - Evaluate tender submissions to identify technically sound, commercially optimal solutions. - Detailed Engineering & Quality Control - Review detailed design documentation to ensure compliance with Group standards, safety requirements, maintainability, durability, and cost efficiency. - Oversee quality control, technical inspections, and execution of electrical and automation packages during project implementation. - Provide targeted, high-value technical support during the commissioning and performance-testing phases. - Supplier Management & Technical Governance - Qualify global suppliers for electrical systems, power distribution, and drive technologies, maintaining a strong understanding of market capabilities. - Develop and continuously refine standard design criteria, engineering tools (e.g., eDM, IBS), and technical best practices across the organization. - Represent the discipline in knowledge-sharing platforms and cross-functional technical roundtables. - Project & Stakeholder Management - Simultaneously manage electrical and automation deliverables across multiple concurrent projects based on priority. - Collaborate effectively within diverse, multicultural, and multidisciplinary engineering teams across international locations.

Your Profile: - Education: University degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation Engineering, or a closely related discipline. - Experience: Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in industrial CAPEX project engineering (Cement, Heavy Industry, or Process Engineering preferred). Technical & Functional Skills: - Deep knowledge of international electrical and automation engineering standards, tools, and methodologies. - Proven experience in large-scale CAPEX project execution, tender preparation, and vendor selection. - Familiarity with heavy process industries (e.g., Cement, Energy, Carbon Capture). - Leadership & Behavioural Competencies - Technical Leadership: Ability to influence stakeholders and establish credibility through technical expertise rather than direct authority. - Adaptability & Resilience: Comfortable working autonomously, managing shifting priorities, and conducting site assessments in remote or challenging environments. - Communication & Negotiation: Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to bridge complex technical details with commercial and operational teams across global sites. - Mindset: Highly analytical, rigorous, cost-conscious, and open to continuous improvement and technical innovation. Languages & Mobility: - Languages: Professional working proficiency in English (written and spoken) is required. Proficiency in additional core Group languages is a plus. - Mobility: Willingness to travel frequently to project locations, supplier facilities, and construction sites worldwide, including regions with basic infrastructure or remote conditions.

Benefits: - Hybrid work contract - Family Support: Subsidized child care and paid maternity/paternity leave - Professional Growth: Company-sponsored training and professional development. - Discounts and Perks: Subsidized meals, exclusive discounts, and company gifts for special occasions. - Long-service awards - Employee referral bonus - Pension and Savings: Access to a comprehensive pension fund and an employee savings scheme.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
