The Swiss construction and property market offers more than classic building sites.
We know our way around.

The construction and property sector is one of the most stable parts of the Swiss economy. Housing is in demand, infrastructure needs to be modernised, and topics like sustainability, digitalisation and energy-efficient building are transforming the industry faster than many people realise. As a result, specialists and managers are urgently needed across almost every area.

We help you position yourself correctly in this market environment. Our consultants know the relevant companies in Switzerland personally, understand how each one operates, and can therefore assess where you will fit best, both professionally and personally.

Your questions
about the Construction & Property business

Would you like to know more about how we support your job search? Here are some answers.
Does Hays' service cost me anything?
No. You pay neither for the advice nor for the placement. Not even if we successfully bring you into a new position. Our fees are covered by the companies that engage us.

What happens next once I have submitted my CV?
Once your dossier arrives, our consultants take a close look at your profile and add it to our talent pool. As soon as we see a position that matches your experience and background, we actively reach out to you. In a personal conversation, we then take the time to get to know you better: what you want to achieve professionally, in which environment you feel comfortable and what matters to you when choosing a new employer. This is our basis for suggesting opportunities that truly fit you.

Is it worth submitting my CV if I am not actively searching?
Yes, and even particularly so. Many of the most exciting roles in construction and property are never publicly advertised. If your profile is on file with us, you are automatically in the running as soon as such an opportunity comes up. Without any commitment and entirely at your own pace.

tailored to your needs

Permanent placements
If you want to plan long-term and contribute within one company, we place you directly with employers that match your qualifications and goals. This is the classic route for anyone looking for stability and a clear perspective.
Freelancers or temporary experts
If you prefer working on a project basis or want to organise your time flexibly, contracting is the more exciting option. You take on demanding projects at established companies in Switzerland on fair terms.
