Technical Specialist Makerspace and Physics

Mittelschul- und Berufsbildungsamt

Kantonsschule Uetikon am See

Technical Specialist Makerspace and Physics 70 - 90%

The Kantonsschule Uetikon am See (KUE) is a young school in the development phase. It runs a lower secondary gymnasium and five of the Zurich maturity profiles (classical languages, mathematical-natural sciences, modern languages, economic-legal, and philosophical-pedagogical-psychological). Around 800 students as well as 120 teachers and administrative staff belong to the KUE today. We are a young, agile team and like to try new things. In about six years, the KUE will move into its new building on the site of the former Chemical Factory directly on Lake Zurich.

With immediate effect or by arrangement, we are looking for a technically skilled and versatile person who will look after our Makerspace and support the Physics department.

Your tasks

The position combines three versatile areas of work: you support the Physics department in technical and administrative matters, look after and develop our existing Makerspace, and participate in the conception and equipment of the future Makerspace in the new building by the lake. Your tasks include:

• preparing, setting up and further developing physical experiments as well as maintaining equipment and machines in the Makerspace and workshop
• advising and providing practical support to teachers and students with experiments, prototypes and their own technical projects
• further developing the Makerspace and workshop together, testing new technologies and contributing your own ideas
• developing and documenting equipment instructions, safety specifications and practical workflows
• procuring, managing and inventorying equipment, tools and consumables

Your profile

For us, a specific educational degree is less decisive than the combination of sound technical understanding, practical experience, willingness to learn and joy in creating:

• a basic technical or manual training, for example as a physics laboratory technician, polymechanic, automation technician or electronics technician or a comparable training
• ideally further technical training, for example at a higher technical college or university of applied sciences
• some years of professional experience
• an independent, reliable and solution-oriented way of working
• a strong affinity for technology, electronics and digital manufacturing
• pedagogical skill and joy in conveying knowledge practically and accompanying and supporting young people with their own projects

Our offer

A varied and responsible activity at a young secondary school awaits you. You will have the opportunity to actively help shape a Makerspace in a school environment and to accompany its further development at the new location from the very beginning. The position combines technology, education, project work and conception and offers plenty of room for your own ideas and initiatives. You will work closely with the Physics department as well as other teachers and at the same time be in direct contact with students.

The part-time workload allows for increased presence during the semester. The resulting overtime can be compensated during school holidays.
