SEPAR — Transforming Demolition into Opportunity

SEPAR is a Swiss startup operating at the intersection of urban planning, construction, and sustainability. We develop solutions to assess the potential of urban mining materials based on demolition data and real estate life-cycle indicators. To strengthen our analytics unit, we are looking for a GIS Analyst (80–100%) capable of transforming complex spatial and procurement datasets into actionable tools for both public and private stakeholders.

Your Profile:

• University degree in GIS, geography, urban studies, environmental science, or a related field
• Hands-on experience with spatial data: OSM, geoservices, WMS/WFS, geo.admin.ch, Swisstopo
• Proficiency in Python, QGIS, PostGIS, GeoPandas, and Excel/Sheets
• Experience in developing dashboards, simple interfaces, or automation pipelines is an asset
• Ability to manage processes and coordinate with contributors across data, design, and architecture
• Familiarity with Swiss public sector structures and procurement systems is a plus
• Full professional fluency in French is required; working proficiency in English; German is an advantage
• Strong initiative, structured thinking, and ability to work under uncertainty and shifting priorities

This role is a good fit if you’re eager to apply GIS to real-world ecological and economic challenges, contribute to the development of new spatial analysis tools, and play a key role in a fast-moving startup environment.

We look forward to receiving your application (CV, cover letter, relevant projects or repositories) with the subject line GIS Analyst SEPAR. Please send your materials directly to jobs@separ.ch

SEPAR is a Swiss startup operating at the intersection of urban planning, construction, and sustainability. We develop solutions to assess the potential of urban mining materials based on demolition data and real estate life-cycle indicators.

Your Profile:

• Degree in structural or civil engineering from a recognized university or technical institute
• Experience with Eurocodes and Swiss building regulations (SIA), especially for concrete structures
• Practical knowledge in statics, FEM analysis, detailing of joints and load-bearing elements
• Familiarity with structural design software (e.g., SCIA, AxisVM, RFEM) and Rhino/Grasshopper workflows
• Experience with prototype testing, lab coordination, or SIA 265/266 implementation is a plus
• Capacity to collaborate with fabricators, test labs, and certification bodies
• Fluent in French; working proficiency in English; German is an advantage
• Independent, precise, and pragmatic mindset with strong documentation and coordination skills

This role is suited for someone who wants to contribute to shaping the technical foundation of reuse in construction by building scalable and certifiable systems for the industry.

SEPAR is a Swiss startup operating at the intersection of urban planning, construction, and sustainability. We develop solutions to assess the potential of urban mining materials based on demolition data and real estate life-cycle indicators. We are offering an internship for a motivated individual interested in contributing to the early development of a circular approach to the built environment. The scope of work is open and will be adapted based on your background — whether technical, analytical, or conceptual.

We welcome applicants with diverse trajectories. Whether you come from engineering, urbanism, resource management, or an entirely different domain — what matters is your ability to think clearly, work independently, and contribute meaningfully to complex, system-level challenges.

We look forward to receiving your application (CV, cover letter, project examples or references) with the subject line Internship SEPAR.
