dnata Switzerland AG is a leading provider of ground handling services for commercial aviation at Geneva and Zurich airports.
As part of the world-renowned Emirates Group, we have over 1,100 employees in Switzerland. We operate more than 35,000 flights per year for over 60 airlines worldwide. In addition, dnata welcomes its valued passengers in the marhaba lounges at Geneva and Zurich airports.
To strengthen our team, we are looking for a person in the IT at Zürich Flughafen (Kloten) – ZRH.
- Administer and develop our Windows Server, Active Directory / Entra ID, virtualization, storage and backup environment across ZRH and GVA
- Own, administer and further develop the network environment: firewalls, switching, VLAN design and segmentation, wifi and VOIP, in coordination with the airport providers
- Deliver the infrastructure projects of our roadmap – among them firewall replacements, a full network redesign and a hypervisor migration from VMware to KVM
- Act as 3rd level escalation point for our IT Support and Application Support colleagues, with coaching and knowledge transfer as part of the role
- Keep the environment secure: security standards, regular checks and vulnerability remediation, in cooperation with the Emirates Group cyber security operations centre
- Evaluate new technologies, shape replacement and upgrade decisions and contribute to vendor and contract management
Your mission
You own the run of our IT infrastructure across both stations (Geneva & Zurich) – servers, virtualization, storage, backup, network and firewalls – and you deliver the modernisation projects on our roadmap. You are the senior technical reference point of the team and you make sure the environment stays stable, secure and cost-efficient in a true 24/7 operational setting.
- 5+ years as System Engineer, Network Engineer or similar, with end-to-end infrastructure ownership – ideally in an SME or operations-critical environment
- Deep hands-on expertise in Windows Server, Active Directory / Entra ID and the M365 / cloud environment
- Proven experience with virtualization, storage and backup / disaster recovery, including migration projects
- Solid networking and firewall know-how (CCNA level or equivalent); scripting skills (e.g. PowerShell) and a structured, documentation-driven way of working
- Certifications (Microsoft, Cisco, VMware) and a degree in Computer Science or comparable are a plus; aviation or ground handling experience is a bonus, not a requirement
- Strong communication skills in English and German; readiness to work on-site at Zurich Airport and share stand-by (Pikett) duties with the team
- A friendly, informal culture where everyone is on a first-name basis. At dnata, every employee matters, regardless of their role or level within the organisation.
- Exciting career and development opportunities – shape your future within dnata and the Emirates Group, with opportunities in over 35 countries across six continents.
- Staff Travel – enjoy discounted airfares with selected airlines and explore the world for less.
- myBenefits Platform – your one-stop access to all employee benefits, including attractive discounts (e.g. Swibeco, hotels, airport services and more) as well as tools such as myIDTravel.
- dnata Wellbeing – take advantage of complimentary workplace massages and additional wellbeing initiatives.
- 5 weeks of annual leave to recharge and relax, increasing to 6 weeks from the age of 50.
- Regular team events – connect with colleagues outside of work and celebrate our achievements together.
Look forward to a diverse and rewarding role with plenty of opportunities to make an impact in an international and dynamic aviation environment. As part of our dedicated IT team, you will take responsibility for delivering professional IT services while contributing to the continuous improvement of our processes and services.
