I have a Degree and a Master Degree, and I ́ve been trying to search for jobs on Internet, but with no positive results.
Thanks
Hello, I would like to know the best way to get a job in Civil Engineering in North Switzerland (Basel, Zurich, Bern) because I have family in Basel.
Degree from where, is it recognised here? Do you have a permit?
Civil engineers are in very high demand - really shouldn't be hard.
EDIT: Just saw your other post.I don't know how you think a duplicate will help you at all...
A Degree and Master Degree in University of Minho in Portugal, is one of the Portuguese recognized universities in European Citizen.
I think I don ́t need an permit as I ́m an European Citizen. I think I only need a work contract.
You still need a permit.
Sory about the duplication but I think this post is more specific.
Reminds me of my favorite Yellow Pages entry.
Finally I did it
It was hard, but now I'm working in Switzerland...
Glad that it all worked out for you!
Hi Luisvb,
Congratulations on finding a job!
My girlfriend is also a civil engineer looking to find a job in Switzerland. I am already here working in Bern as a Computer engineer. I understand that in my line of work it is quite easier, because companies are most of the times satisfied with just English.
So, do you have any tips to share on how a non german speaking civil engineer could get a job here?? Are there any websites targeted at civil engineers? At this point, as she doesn't have a lot of experience, also an internship is more than welcome. Anything from your experience would be a huge help. In terms of the permit, I guess there is no big problem as we are both Greeks and for me it was very easy.
Thanks a lot!
Hello Luis, I am a portuguese Civil Engineer just like you. My boyfriend is working in Switzerland and he has a permanent contract. I saw that you found a job like a year ago. I am looking for a job but finding an english speakng position is very hard... Can you please tell me how was your search, what companies, etc?
Many thanks
Hi Luis,
I am a portuguese Civil Engineer from FEUP. My wife is moving in Fev 2013 to basel to a chemichal company and I want to go with her. Is it possible to work there without speaking german? How does the process works? Do you know which companies are looking for civil engineers?
As I remember I have answered the last two questions by pm, if not, please correct me.
Hi,
I am working and staying in Basel and my wife is currently working as Civil Engineer in India. She is joining me here in Switzerland and so looking for jobs
in Civil Engineering. She has work experience of more than 7 years mainly in Structural design (Civil). Her German language skills are at very basic level only however she will join some language class soon. Can you please recommend or suggest companies where she can think of applying? Direct or indirect pointers will be appreciable.
Cheers!!
Hi Luisvb,
I understand that you find a job as Civil Engineer a couple of years back, Congratulations for that!
My wife is also a civil engineer looking to find a job in Switzerland. I am already here working in Basel as a IT consultant. I understand that in my line of work it is quite easier, because companies are most of the times satisfied with just English.
So, do you have any tips to share on how a non german speaking civil engineer could get a job here?? Are there any websites targeted at civil engineers? At this point, she is working as Civil Engineer in the area of structural design. But an internship is also more than welcome. Anything from your experience would be a huge help. In terms of the permit, I guess there is no big problem as she is having dependent B Permit.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Sbrinz , those websites seem to have lots of postings but most of them (if not all) require the applicants to know German.
I am looking for CE job too but it is almost pointless without knowing German (and it takes me a while to learn them). Any other suggestions please?
Also, is it possible to register in Switzerland as an engineer and practice (in my own office), if already registered in an EU country?
Thanks in advance.
Why reply by PM louis and not share here for everyone? It will be useful for the whole forum.
Hi everyone!
I will refresh this thread. If some of English speaking civil engineer from here found a job in profession and can shear the solution? I am looking for a job for 6 months (over 200 application) with no result. I've started with searching a job as a "zeichner", because I thought that in this kind of job lack of german should not be a problem. Unfortunately it came out that it actually is
I applied for a companies such as Holcim, Sulzer, Umbricht, Gruner, Implenia. All of them sent me refusal.
Now I am searching any type of job, even physical. Maybe some advice with that? I am tired of sitting at home.
