Life at FPT/IVECO in Arbon
Arbon is located in North-Eastern Switzerland on the shores of Lake Constance 30
minutes from the German and Austrian borders offering an outstanding quality of living,
with our site being based right at the lakefront. Lunchbreak by the water or meeting the
family after work in the park? That will take you literally just seconds. Are you more into
skiing, hiking or biking than watersports? The Swiss and Austrian mountains are at our
doorstep. You prefer settling in a city over country life? St.Gallen, Eastern Switzerland’s
cultural and economic center with its world-renowned university is a mere 15 minutes’
drive from Arbon (yes, we provide free parking) with distinctively more affordable costs
of living than most of the other larger cities in Switzerland.

As Swissmem members, our working conditions are regulated by the tariff of the Swiss
machinery and metal industry. We work a 40 hour week with flexible working hours, offer
between 25 and 30 days of holidays per year depending on your age grade (plus another
week off as a compensation for 10 minutes extra per day, so in effect 30 to 35 days of
holidays for a 40:50 hours week), home office opportunities of up to 12 days per month
(depending on the position) as well as an open-minded corporate culture with
international and diverse teams, flat hierarchies and informal culture based on mutual
respect. And, most importantly, we are providing a state of the art environment for
engineers in the automotive industry that is second to none within Switzerland and offers
various career paths for all interests.
