OPEN POSITION

System Engineer Maintenance and Prevention (m/f/d)

Bern and French-speaking Switzerland · Full time · Starting immediately
THE ROLE

Maintain rather than repair.

Are you an electronics technician, mechatronics technician or IT specialist (m/f/d), or do you have a comparable qualification? Do you enjoy the mix of fieldwork and office work and have you had enough of hectic emergency call-outs?

At OPAL we use foresight to prevent breakdowns before they happen. In this role you are not a firefighter: you secure the longevity of our customers devices through regular, planned care. We are looking for a technically skilled addition to our maintenance team, in the field and in the office.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

What to expect.

  • Preventive maintenance: You visit our customers on a routine basis to service industrial label printers (Zebra, Honeywell, Sato, CAB, TEC and others).
  • Value preservation: You clean devices professionally, check their functions and preventively replace wear parts such as platen rollers or printheads.
  • No deep interventions on site: Complex repairs or extensive troubleshooting are not part of your role at the customer site.
  • Office work: You carry out more extensive repairs and servicing at our office.
  • Documentation: You record the condition of devices and your activities in our service system and independently handle order preparation and follow-up, including material ordering.
  • Coverage area: Your core territory covers French-speaking Switzerland and the Bern area, including Bern, Lausanne, Biel, Geneva, Neuchatel and Valais.
YOUR PROFILE

Technical understanding and a love of driving.

  • Background: Ideally you come from the printer or copier segment or have a comparable technical education, for example as an IT specialist or electronics technician (m/f/d). Technically skilled career changers are just as welcome.
  • Technical understanding: You do not need to be an expert on every manufacturer yet. What matters is a solid technical foundation, plus basic IT skills, for example to install and configure a printer driver.
  • Mobility: You hold a category B driving licence. Since you cover a large area, enjoying driving and being willing to travel come naturally to you.
  • Way of working: You work in a structured, reliable way and have a high degree of self-organisation.
  • Place of residence: For short commutes, your home is ideally well connected in the Bern region or in French-speaking Switzerland.
  • Languages: Excellent German, French and English, spoken and written.
YOUR BENEFITS

Freedom and security.

Company car.

A company car that you can also use privately.

A calmer working day.

Because we focus on planned maintenance, your working day is noticeably less stressful and easier to plan than in a classic emergency repair service.

Mobility.

You benefit from our bike leasing offer.

Trust.

We believe in long-term collaboration and trust your independent way of working.

Training.

You will be trained intensively on our partners equipment, through both internal and external manufacturer training.

Clear principles.

Earn trust, create clarity, own outcomes, do what is right: at OPAL these are principles we live by, not a poster on the wall.

Maintain technology instead of putting out fires?

If you would rather work with foresight than repair under time pressure, we look forward to your application.
