What do you want to be dedicated to?
At the Federal Administration, you will find work that is rewarding. You can take on responsibility and do your bit for the wellbeing of the Swiss population. You will have the opportunity to develop innovative solutions in interdisciplinary teams and thereby make a valuable contribution to the high quality of life in our country.
High quality of life and an intact environment
Switzerland is one of the countries with the highest quality of life in the world. This is largely thanks to its healthcare system, unspoilt nature and social security. Nevertheless, we face major challenges, such as our consumption of resources, demographic developments and population growth. With your commitment in numerous fields of activity, you can help to ensure that Switzerland remains a great place to live for all its inhabitants.
Efficient infrastructures
A high quality of life means that the country's infrastructures have to meet high standards. The Federal Administration gives you the opportunity to be part of infrastructure projects of national importance in areas such as sustainable energy supply, the management of increasing mobility and fast-paced technological change due to digitalisation. In doing so, you will be working in the interests of future generations.
Healthy finances and a thriving economy
Government funds need to be used in a forward-looking and comprehensible manner. Through your work in various units, you ensure that the Confederation is able to fulfil its payment obligations and that its finances are in order. Companies need to be in good shape too: at the Federal Administration, you can help to promote fair competition and socially acceptable conditions.
Good foreign relations and sustainable development
Switzerland is constantly interacting with foreign countries on issues such as trade, political integration, migration, cross-border traffic, peacebuilding and development cooperation. In a variety of areas, you can help our country safeguard its interests in a globalised world and thus also strengthen Switzerland's reputation.
Internal and external security, and successful operation of the rule of law
Security and the rule of law are two key elements in ensuring citizens' personal fulfilment. Many security issues are dealt with at federal level. Whether you are involved in drafting and implementing legislation, combating internal and external threats or providing protection in the event of crises and disasters, your work directly benefits the general public, organisations and companies.
Research, innovation and cultural diversity
Switzerland is an innovative country. To ensure that it remains so, the Federal Administration actively supports research and education. In the same spirit, federal offices collect scientific data, commission studies, document knowledge and pass it on to the population. With your expertise, you can help to ensure that Switzerland continues to develop as a modern location for research and education.

Efficient administration and stable government
Only if the Federal Administration is efficient can it guarantee smooth processes for the benefit of the population. In staff functions, you can perform valuable groundwork, support the Federal Council in political affairs and promote coordination between federal offices. In cross-departmental offices, you can help ensure that the roughly 38,000 employees can perform their tasks in an optimal working environment.
