Working in the heat? At G+P, cooling off is part of it
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.

«Even after 17 years at G+P, I deal with new issues and challenges almost every day. The solutions are often developed in interdisciplinary and cross-branch teams. This confrontation with exciting technical issues and the exchange with a highly qualified team motivate me again and again.»

«At G+P, I appreciate the good teamwork. What motivates me in working on the projects is that we contribute to a more comfortable use of the buildings. Comfort is related to global warming (summer heat insulation) and the ever-increasing density and its noise development in the building itself (sound insulation and room acoustics).»

«Thanks to G+P, I have the opportunity to develop my skills in a dynamic and friendly professional environment. The projects I'm involved in are varied and stimulating, offering the chance to make tangible improvements to the daily lives and quality of life of many people by protecting them from noise pollution.»

«As part of the pavement acoustics team, I carry out acoustic measurements throughout Switzerland and evaluate the measurement results in the office. In doing so, I particularly appreciate the thematic reference to my geography studies. In addition, unlike many of my fellow students, the combination of my professional activities and my studies was made extremely easy for me by the possibility of flexible working hours, for which I am extremely grateful.»

«Noisy industrial plants are often located on the roofs of high buildings. For measurement campaigns, I therefore regularly find myself at lofty heights and can enjoy the panorama from unique locations. The combination of field work (with foresight), the analytical and editorial work in the office and the variety of noise sources and projects make the work in the outdoor noise team at Grolimund+Partner very varied.»

«At G+P, I appreciate the broad and exciting field of activity at the interface between outdoor noise and software development. Thanks to further training supported by G+P, I can specifically take on new challenges in GIS and data modeling. In addition, the flexible working hours model allows a compatibility with the family.»

«Working with and for different clients allows me to gain insight into a wide variety of fields of activity. At G+P itself, we work in interdisciplinary teams across the various specialist areas to find solutions. The focus is often on the goal of providing more peace and quiet for the population. I also really appreciate the fact that I can work in several branches and at home, and that the PC-heavy work is always broken up by measurement work outside with the CPX drivers, alone and with office colleagues.»

«It is enormously motivating how I can share my enthusiasm, my curiosity and my willingness to perform with a committed team at G+P. Even with more than 20 years of professional experience, every day is therefore challenging, varied and exciting.»

«Every new order is an exciting challenge. I enjoy satisfying our customers' needs with our high quality standards. Regardless of whether it is a short consultation on site or a large project with complex measurements and modeling - even with more than 15 years of experience in acoustics, no project is the same and the motivation is constantly high!»
