Bus Mechanic

About BERNMOBIL
BERNMOBIL is a company deeply rooted in the city and region of Bern, operating state-of-the-art vehicles and offering diverse professions. Our red trams and buses are as much a part of Bern as the Aare river or the Zytglogge. More than 1000 employees transport over 100 million passengers annually in the Bern region. This makes BERNMOBIL one of the larger transport companies in Switzerland. Despite BERNMOBIL's size and reach, we are proud of our family-like atmosphere and foster a culture where all employees interact on an equal footing. The diversity of our employees and our professions is of great value and particularly noteworthy. We don't just drive trams and buses. We also maintain our vehicles or plan and build large parts of our infrastructure ourselves. Furthermore, we operate the administrative office of the tariff association. With our new trams and electric buses, we also make a valuable contribution to the environment. Without a doubt: working at BERNMOBIL is worthwhile in every respect.
