The Switzerland market
Switzerland combines very high on-site cost with strict data-residency expectations, so operators optimise for getting it right in one visit. Canton-level language differences and bank-sector scrutiny shape how work is documented.
We mobilise from Zurich and Geneva with a target of 10 hours to site. Zurich and Geneva hubs give ten-hour mobilisation. High labour cost makes planned multi-task visits more economical than repeated call-outs.

How we deliver maintenance & field support here
Scheduled support in Switzerland is priced and staffed as a rota, not as ad-hoc call-outs, because the cost difference is large and the quality difference is larger. Zurich and Geneva hubs give ten-hour mobilisation. High labour cost makes planned multi-task visits more economical than repeated call-outs.
- Agreed rota with named engineers who already hold site access and know the plant
- Planned maintenance batched to reduce visits, travel and disruption
- Visual and thermal inspection with findings logged against the asset record
- Spares and consumables staged on site where the contract specifies it
- Reporting per visit, with trends surfaced rather than buried in tickets
Standards and compliance in Switzerland
Work is signed off against the standards that actually apply here, not the ones our engineers are most familiar with. In Switzerland that means SN EN 50173 and SN EN 50174 as the primary reference, with iec 61935-1 certification as the test regime.
Site safety runs under SUVA rules and EKAS directives. We supply certificates before mobilisation rather than on request.
Standards applied on site
- SN EN 50173 and SN EN 50174 for cabling
- SN EN 50600 for facility design and operations
- NIN / ESTI requirements for low-voltage installation
- nFADP (revised Federal Act on Data Protection) and Swiss data-residency expectations
- FINMA circulars on outsourcing for banks and insurers
- EU GDPR where Swiss operations touch EU personal data
Site access and safety
Banking-sector sites require named engineers, photo ID and often a background declaration. Plan 48 hours for first access.
- SUVA rules and EKAS directives for contractor safety
- Written permit for work on or near live electrical parts

Local questions
Working in Switzerland
Can you guarantee Swiss data residency?
Our Swiss work is performed by engineers resident in Switzerland or the EU, and no customer data leaves the site. We do not operate a Swiss-registered entity, which matters if you require a purely domestic contractor.
How do you keep cost down given Swiss rates?
By batching. We combine rack build, cabling and commissioning into a single mobilisation and pre-stage materials, so you pay for one visit rather than three.
Which languages do your engineers cover?
German, French and English across Zurich and Geneva, with Italian available for Ticino. Tell us the site and we will staff to match.
