Your contribution:
- You organize and manage the training pathways of apprentices and interns within the company.
- You coordinate follow-up with training managers, workshop supervisors, and partner schools.
- You select candidates in line with the company’s expectations and the criteria defined by training institutions.
- You regularly assess apprentices and interns according to academic and professional standards.
- You support in-company trainers with administrative and pedagogical aspects of training.
- You provide dedicated support to CAAJ (Centre d’Apprentissage de l’Arc Jurassien) apprentices and ensure compliance with cantonal requirements.
- You identify skills development needs and design training programs delivered both in person and online.
- You develop, deploy and deliver learning content aligned with the training strategy and adapted to a global community.
- You create and adapt technical watchmaking training programs based on operational needs and may deliver them when required.
- You oversee planning, budgeting, and infrastructure-related projects linked to training.
You think there is even more to discover in this role? You’re right — apply today and learn more!
You will thrive in our squad if:
- You have solid experience in the watchmaking industry, ideally gained in a production environment.
- You hold a Swiss CFC qualification in watchmaking operations and stand out for your team spirit, service mindset, strong listening skills, and ability to adapt and anticipate.
- You bring significant experience in training, particularly in the watchmaking field.
- You master watchmaking operations T0, T1, and T2, as well as mechanical watch assembly, casing, and regulation.
- You have experience delivering training to both adults and teenagers and can adapt your teaching approach to different audiences.
- You are comfortable facilitating training sessions for both small and large groups.
- You demonstrate excellent organizational skills and a strong sense of responsibility, with rigor and reliability.
- You communicate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders, including employees, learners, schools, and training partners.
- You are proficient in standard IT tools such as Word, Excel, and Outlook.
