Looking for Operations Team Event-Tech 40–60%

The Zentralwäscherei in Zurich is a space for art, culture, and encounters. As a non-profit association, we offer a platform for diverse events – ranging from concerts and performances to panel discussions and art projects. Our goal is to create a place of exchange and diversity. Together with the event team and other involved groups, our technical department implements around 140 events each year. As part of the operations team, you ensure the well-being of the technical team, provide resources, and act as a point of contact and coordination hub for technical matters within the building.

Your areas of responsibility include, among others:

• Preliminary discussions with external groups: You advise them on technical, aesthetic, and organizational matters. • Equipment management: You rent equipment, coordinate the backline, keep an overview of consumables and our equipment, and ensure that materials are available. • You independently carry out minor repairs. • You are a contact person and intermediary for the tech team: You organize the monthly tech team meeting and pass on concerns to other meetings. • You plan shifts together with the programming group and estimate time requirements. • Clarification of technical riders for concerts, theater productions, performances, etc.

Requirements include several years of work experience in the event sector, calmness in everyday work, confidence in your own abilities as well as in those of others, good knowledge of audio engineering (including system technology), and advanced knowledge of lighting technology (Chamsys, theater and concert lighting). Qualifications in rigging (SHRV) and ideally a lifting platform license round out your profile. A driver’s license is an advantage, but not mandatory.

The job comprises a workload of 40 to 60% for administrative and preparatory technical tasks. In this role, you take on the technical preparation for all events at the Zentralwäscherei. Together with the front-of-house shifts, you can increase your Pensum.

What we offer:

We offer a diverse working environment in a collectively organized association with flat hierarchies. You have the opportunity to actively help shape our technical infrastructure and support creative projects. Active participation in the association is part of our culture; depending on capacity, we also get involved in other bodies. We pay a transparent standard wage of 25 Swiss francs net per hour, including a night surcharge of 10%. For shifts longer than six hours, we provide discounted meals, and you receive additional discounts on site. You can expect a broad spectrum of events that offers variety and room for creative development. Working hours are set by agreement and are oriented around the events. The place of work is the Zentralwäscherei at Neue Hard 12 in 8005 Zurich, and the contract is arranged individually.

Diversity is important to us, and we would particularly like to encourage people from underrepresented social groups to apply. Please send your complete application documents as a single PDF document by 20.09.26 to bewerben@zentralwaescherei.space. We look forward to getting to know you.

BT Graphic Design 30%

(Starting in December/January, or by arrangement)

We are the Verein Zentralwäscherei, an association that operates the ground-floor spaces of the former Zentralwäscherei at Neue Hard 12. For almost five years, we have been creating a non-profit space for encounters, art, culture and gastronomy. We organise ourselves in different working groups and make our decisions collectively. You can find out more about us and our principles on our website.

Your role

You will be part of the Betriebsteam/Operations Team (BT). You will be responsible for the visual identity of Verein Zentralwäscherei. In coordination with BT Programm, BT Exkom, BT Gastro and the kitchen team, you will develop visual concepts that communicate the different activities and offerings of Verein Zentralwäscherei to the outside world. Working as part of the Betriebsteam often goes beyond your specific professional responsibilities. Participating in meetings with different teams, as well as co-organising the annual association retreat and the annual ZW Festival, are among the tasks that may be part of your everyday work. This position provides a very deep insight into all of the association’s processes and offers the opportunity to actively shape what happens within Zentralwäscherei.

Responsibilities

You are responsible for the external visual identity of all offerings of the restaurant Kleinwäscherei, as well as for events organised by Verein Zentralwäscherei. Your tasks include designing visuals (posters, flyers, digital applications) for recurring events such as Tilt, Eurotrance, concerts, the annual festival and many more; designing menus, posters and flyers for the restaurant Kleinwäscherei; designing merchandise, signage, tokens and anything else that might be needed in a cultural organisation.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who is willing to actively and cooperatively contribute to the association and its operations; someone who organises their work independently and flexibly, contributes proactively and constructively within a team, communicates openly and values a respectful and supportive feedback culture. The position requires a high level of personal responsibility and commitment to participating in the collective running of the organisation. We are looking for someone who works well in a team, is resilient and able to deal with a wide range of problems and situations. An interest in, enjoyment of, and ideally previous experience with collective structures is a strong plus. You are highly proficient in the usual Adobe programmes, particularly Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and After Effects, and already have professional experience. Unfortunately, we cannot consider applicants who are currently enrolled in a full-time programme at an art school. As part of the Betriebsteam, it is essential that you are present at Zentralwäscherei every Monday from 11:00–18:00 and remain flexibly available or on site throughout the rest of the week. All members of the association are also expected to contribute an additional 10% of their workload as voluntary work.

Interested? We look forward to hearing from you!

We offer you the opportunity to work in an association with a standardised hourly wage (CHF 25/hour netto + tips) and a working environment that operates outside the usual hierarchies of the cultural sector. This provides space for creativity and a pleasant working atmosphere. Training/handover with the current BT Graphic Design person will take place from December 2026, with the position starting in January 2027. Please send us your application documents (CV, cover letter and a selection of your creative work) by 15 October 2026 to: bewerben@zentralwaescherei.space PLEASE PUT EVERYTHING IN ONE PDF WITH YOUR FULL NAME AS THE TITLE.
