JOBS

Sustainable architecture:
Managing architect
60-100% f/m

OPENLY is a new bionic construction system for the construction of net zero residential and office buildings. We are currently constructing what is probably the most innovative building in Switzerland. See project Valley Widnau.

For a newly founded architectural office (AG) based in Widnau SG, we are looking for a CEO with shareholding to build up and manage the office. The office was founded by OPENLY AG and other strategic investors who provide capital as well as commissions, know-how and underwriting resources.
Their activities include:

  • Preparation of project studies, preliminary projects & building applications (focus on MFH & office buildings)

  • Implementation and tender planning

  • Competitions for kindergartens and school buildings

You will work with the core team of OPENLY in the same office (OPENLY does consulting, client support & CO2 certificates). You will gain an extremely deep insight into sustainable architecture and previous research and implementation knowledge.

Your profile:
You have several years of practical experience in timber construction architecture and live within a 1-hour drive of Widnau SG (at least 2 attendance days per week in Widnau). You have the confidence to help build up and manage an office, although we are not looking for the male archetype "Architecture CEO". We expect you to wield a fine blade, be enthusiastic about materials but also love tangible aspects of building physics. You describe your way of working as fast, creative, collaborative, digital & precise. Our profile is aimed at all age groups, genders & orientations. You speak and communicate fluently in English.

We look forward to receiving your application.

Entrepreneur (m/f) Negative Emission Technology 60-100%

OPENLY is a new bionic construction system for the construction of net zero residential and office buildings. We have discovered, patented and industrialized the building material hempcrete. 1m3 of hempcrete binds 100kg of CO2. As early as 2025, we expect 5000 tons of negative CO2 emissions, which puts us in the same league as Neustark or Climeworks. So there is still a long way to go to become a Megacorn.

For the newly founded subsidiary CANCRET AG we are looking for a shareholding CEO to build up and manage the company. The company is active in the following areas:

  • Hemp construction / hemp lime / Hempcrete consulting activities with a new know-how platform (www.cancret.com)

  • Licensing of production partners (own patent for prefabrication of finished parts)

  • Management of existing warehouse for wholesalers and the world's largest mobile hempcrete mixing plant

  • C-Sink Manager (CO2 certificate issuance) for producers

  • Strategic acquisition of CO2 certificate buyers, with OPENLY AG acting as C-sink trader.

  • Marketing of this negative emissions technology at conferences, PR & media and startup communication

Your profile:
You are not fresh out of university and do not have the feeling that you will become a start-up millionaire in the short term. You have entrepreneurial blood running through your veins and a certain affinity with the construction industry. Ultimately, CANCRET AG's success lies in the widespread use of hempcrete as a building material - so the aim is to convince construction engineers, architects and craftsmen. You are helped with this by the largest hemp house in Europe, Widnau Valleybuilt by us as well as by OPENLY AG's advice for clients.

We also explicitly address international candidates. The company is based in Zurich, although we naturally offer home office. Your curriculum vitae will impress with a sound basic academic education and proven pioneering achievements. Age group, gender, number of children, etc. do not matter to us. You speak and communicate fluently in German and English and have a winning personality. The groundwork has already been done - your job will be the marketing & acquisition of construction projects and licensees for production. We already have ongoing orders that need to be managed and processed. On the CO2 certificate side, we need to sign up existing hemp stone producers as C-sink managers.

We look forward to receiving your application.
