When temperatures rise, simply pushing through is not enough. Summer 2026 brought exceptionally hot days. At G+P, we responded with a simple but effective idea: the Badi Challenge.

«As a mother of two small children, G+P offers me the opportunity to take on responsibility and manage exciting and challenging projects despite a relatively small part-time workload, and to be able to do this very flexibly, which makes it easy to combine with everyday family life. I was also able to meet my wonderful husband at G+P.»

«What I appreciate most about G+P is the wide range of building physics topics that we are able to deal with on a daily basis as part of an outstanding team. It is a personal concern of mine to support and accompany our customers every day on their way to greater energy efficiency and sustainability. In this way, I can make a personal contribution to a ‘greener’ world of tomorrow, both for the general public and for my two small children, for whom I have plenty of time thanks to my ‘daddy day’ and 80% workload.»

«I find it exciting and enriching to exchange ideas across disciplines in the G+P team. Everyone contributes their own experience and expertise, whether it's during a project meeting, a coffee break or an after-work beer. We always come up with creative and goal-oriented solutions for our customers, even for particularly challenging problems.»

«What I appreciate about G+P is the extremely broad field of activity, which ranges from normal project work to conference participation and international research collaboration. Likewise, I think it's great that the coffee break can be actively used to compare current conditions in the mountains, which creates a welcome balance between work and free time.»

«On the pulse of time in times of climate change – this makes the work at G+P both interesting and diverse. In addition, a very motivated team of well-trained specialists who complement each other very well and who bring the current state of knowledge of building physics into practice. The whole thing is rounded off by a really good team spirit and progressive boundary conditions, which is why I feel very comfortable here.»

«G+P allows me to work in an area where I can influence the achievement of kilma targets on a small scale. By planning energy-optimized buildings, we can actively influence the CO2 footprint. The daily work with the great team of G+P is a pleasure. In addition, I was able to meet my wonderful wife at G+P.»

«I have been at G+P for just over a year as a project leader in research and development. I have learned a lot about road acoustics and their measurement in the past year, as G+P is a pioneer in this field in Switzerland. At the same time, there is always room to bring my skills and experience to the table, while developing new ones.»

«I have been working for G+P on a part-time basis for more than 20 years, and thanks to G+P's great flexibility I have been able to combine family and career wonderfully. I experience G+P as a dynamic team and a generous employer in all respects, from the coffee and croissants on offer, the great employee events, to the generous BVG insurance benefits. I am proud to work for G+P.»
