Projects That Call for Your Expertise
And coworkers who know what you're talking aboutOur clients call on us for projects that few others in their region know how to handle. It’s challenging, often international, and above all, much more interesting than the average project in this field. This page tells you what we work with, what you can really expect, and how we get started. If something catches your eye, write to us—even if you don’t check all the boxes.
The kinds of assignments we receive
Three ordinary days here. If, as you read this, you find yourself thinking, “I can do that”—or better yet, “I’d like to do that”—then we should talk.
Eight o'clock in the morning. A customer with 400 users can no longer make or receive calls. It's not a complete outage: some calls go through, others don't, and nothing had changed the night before—or so everyone believes.
To find, in a single morning, what no one thought to look for.
A group acquires a company abroad and must merge the two environments: two directory services, two email systems, two phone systems, and two fleets of workstations. The switchover date is set by contract and will not change.
To lead a shift that cannot be postponed, across two countries at a time.
A line-of-business application has been handling a company’s billing for eleven years. The person who wrote it has left, the documentation is only two pages long, and now the system needs to be integrated with a new tool without interrupting billing for even a single day.
Understanding someone else's code, then improving it without breaking anything.
None of these three roles is straightforward, and that is the only reason why we do not take on interns or apprentices: we would not have work suited to them, and it would be doing them a disservice to claim otherwise. That said, you don’t need to be an expert in everything to reach out to us. A few years of professional experience elsewhere, a field you know well, and the desire to tackle these three challenges head-on—that’s the real threshold. As for the rest, you’ll be surrounded by engineers who’ve already done it.
Three ways to get in—and there's surely one that's right for you
You can join us as an employee, take on an assignment with one of our clients, or ask us to handle the project you’ve secured on your own. All three options are available, and we can discuss any of them over the phone.
A job with us, at Renens
An employee of our firm, working within our teams and in our offices. You carry out the assignment alongside us, working directly with the client, and your area of expertise becomes your domain.
What you need to bring: a field you know well, and a willingness to work as part of a team on-site.
An assignment at a client's site
Also an employee of the company, but currently on assignment at a client site that has defined its requirements. Microsoft specialists, project managers, business analysts, developers.
What you need to bring: a profile that matches a current assignment. The client defines the role.
Your Mandate, Our Structure
Payroll services. You have the assignment, but you need a Swiss company to handle it. We become your employer for the duration of the assignment.
What to bring: your power of attorney, and nothing else. Your client has already ruled in our favor.
The field matters more than the number of years
We’re not looking for someone who can do a little bit of everything, but someone who specializes in a specific field. Six years of highly specialized experience are worth more here than fifteen years of very broad experience. Here are the four areas where your experience will translate into a project from the very first month.
The World of Microsoft
The majority of our projects—both functional and technical—allow us to work as consultants Dynamics 365 without writing a single line of code, or a developer Azure without ever facilitating a business workshop.
Infrastructure and Equipment
Servers, storage, virtualization, backup and recovery, and workstations. We are a partner o Dell Technologies : the hardware is configured, prepared, and delivered by us, both in Switzerland and at our customers’ sites abroad.
See the Infrastructure and CloudThe Partner Publisher Ecosystem
A Microsoft environment never stands alone. We deploy products from thirteen software vendors and hardware manufacturers in production, with a designated escalation path for five of them. If your domain is one of these names, it has immediate value here.
Development
Tools that meet your needs: integration between two applications that didn’t communicate with each other, an online service, a business application, or taking over a software project whose original developer has left. We are both integrators and software developers, and that shows in our work.
What if your field doesn't fall into any of these four categories? Write to us anyway. We're open to technologies we don't currently use— many have found their way into our company because someone here was already familiar with them. Just tell us where it’s running and how long you’ve been working with it: that’s all we need to know what to do with it.
Open Positions
Here are the current job openings at Renens. If you're looking for a job at Microsoft in French-speaking Switzerland, start here—and if nothing matches your interests, the "unsolicited application" option is at the bottom of the page: it works very well.
Dynamics 365 Consultant — Sales and Contact Center
Business SolutionsYou manage projects Dynamics 365 from start to finish: the workshop where we learn how the client really works, configuration, data migration, deployment, and then the day-to-day operation of the environment. Sales and Contact Center are the two applications at the heart of the role; the rest of the product line will come with the projects, and no one will expect you to be familiar with it beforehand.
- A project Dynamics 365 that you have already deployed for a client. Just one is enough: it's the experience that counts, not the number.
- The desire to lead a professional workshop for users who aren't familiar with computers. It's something you can learn, and we'll be there to support you.
- Configuration, workflows, reports—and the common sense to know when to call a developer.
- Fluent in French. Other languages are a plus, but never a requirement.
- A chance to discover the product from scratch—but we'll introduce you to the rest of the line as well.
- A behind-the-scenes role: You'll be the one interacting with the client, and that's what makes the job interesting.
- A list of tasks to complete: your environments are your own.
- Remote work during the first year. The reason is explained below, and it's a valid one.
Power Platform , and Azure — C#
Business SolutionsYou build the tools that off-the-shelf products can’t provide: a business application on Power Platform, a service that enables communication between two systems that were previously unaware of each other, a process that runs in Azure. The code goes into production at a client’s site, where it’s used the very next day—it’s quick, it’s visible, and it’s rewarding.
- C# and .NET in the Real World: Code You've Delivered and Maintained. No matter what industry you're in.
- Power Platform — Power Apps and Power Automate —beyond the tutorial. If you know one of them, the other will come quickly.
- Azure as a place of execution: functions, queues, identities. The rest can be learned from our mandates.
- The willingness to say that a request shouldn't be pursued. It's rare, and that's what helps us win contracts.
- Not web development or website creation: these are business applications, with real users behind them.
- A spot on a team of twenty, with a job description already drafted: you'll be closer to the decision-making process.
- Just one technology for three years: our projects change, and that’s usually what people come here for.
- Remote work during the first year. The reason is explained below, and it's a valid one.
Three Things to Know Before Applying
It’s just as well to say this now as it is during the first interview. None of the three are meant to discourage you: they help you figure out if you want to join the company, and that’s the only question that matters at this stage.
We do not hire interns or apprentices
This isn’t a judgment on people, and it isn’t a matter of budget. The thing is, our projects are never straightforward: every hour we bill is for work on an issue where the client has already tried other options before calling us. We’d have to train someone on someone else’s project, which we won’t do—and a young person just starting out deserves a project that’s the right fit for them.
On the other hand, there is no minimum number of years of experience required. A few years of experience in another field and a subject area you know well are more than enough. We have hired people who didn’t meet half the requirements listed in the job posting.
The work is done at Renens, together
Our offices are brand-new, and we’ve chosen to work side by side there rather than spread out. It’s not that we’re skeptical of remote work—it’s just that half of what we learn here comes from listening to the conversation at the neighboring desk, or from turning your chair toward someone who’s already seen the glitch you’re looking at.
Remote work becomes an option after the second year, once you’re familiar enough with our clients’ environments to work on them independently. As for day-to-day flexibility, that’s available from day one—see the next section; it’s not the same thing.
Everyone here is responsible for their own area
We don’t hire “an IT specialist.” Each person has a specific area of expertise for which they are accountable to the client, and that is exactly what the client is looking for. It’s demanding, but that’s also what makes the job manageable: no one will expect you to know everything.
And a field keeps expanding. Many people started out with one technology and now cover three, because their assignments have led them there. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for a position where you dabble in a little bit of everything without delving deeply into anything, such roles exist—they’re useful—but this isn’t one of them.
Why Do People Stay Here?
None of the following is a recruitment pitch: you can verify these four points by asking someone who already works here, and we’ll be happy to put you in touch with them before you make your decision.
Assignments you don't see anywhere else
Mergers and splits of IT environments across countries, telephone systems with several hundred extensions, and business applications taken over from their original developers. We’re a small firm with projects on the scale of large firms—that’s what sets us apart, and that’s what makes the experience gained here difficult to obtain elsewhere.
You'll never have to face a problem on your own
Internally, someone has probably already encountered yours—that’s the whole point of shared offices. And for issues that go beyond our organization, we have a dedicated escalation path with five publishers: an incident opened under our partner number is routed to an engineer at the publisher, not to a public queue.
New offices and three branches
Renens For the headquarters, Sion and Châtel-Saint-Denis for projects and clients in these regions. The offices at Renens are brand-new, and they were designed so that people can work together without getting in each other’s way—which isn’t all that common.
Flexibility that’s more than just a recruitment slogan
Almost everyone here has children, including management. Daycare schedules, Wednesdays, a child who gets sick the day before a launch— these are our challenges, too. We work it out, and we work it out well, because we know exactly what it’s like.
It's more reliable than a written policy, and that's the only reason we're discussing it here.
Languages: An Asset, Never a Barrier
We carry out international projects, and we also have many Swiss clients. These two sentences don’t convey the same message about what we’re asking of you, and the confusion causes good candidates to pass them by—so here are both sides of the story.
French is sufficient for admission
Most of our clients are based in Switzerland and work in French. The workshops, the project committees, and the documentation they will read—all of this is conducted in their language.
English is therefore not a requirement for employment. No one has ever been turned down here for that reason, and it would be absurd: we would be losing an excellent specialist over a skill that half of our projects don’t require.
One more language, one more category of mandates
Our international projects are conducted in English, and sometimes in German: a group merging two subsidiaries, a fleet of workstations delivered to overseas sites, and a telephony system deployed in several countries at once.
An additional language isn’t just a line on a resume; it’s a gateway to those projects—and to the places you’ll get to visit. That’s what we call an asset: it changes what you’ll do, not whether we hire you.
Secondment: an employee of ours on assignment at a client's site
This is the most open door of the three, and there’s a reason for that: on a delegated assignment, it’s the client who defines the need and approves the profile. You’re not acting solely on behalf of the firm—you’re fulfilling a specific role within it. If neither of our two positions is a good fit for you, this is very often where the opportunity lies.
Microsoft Profiles
Both functional and technical, across the entire surface: Dynamics 365, the Power Platform, Azure, Microsoft 365, the brand identity, and the workstation.
Project Managers
The most consistent demand: Leading an IT project for a client that lacks in-house resources, while managing its various stages and deadlines.
Business Analysts
Translating a business requirement into something a developer or consultant can build. The rarest and most in-demand role.
Developers
Join an existing team or take over an ongoing development project. C# and .NET primarily, with an increasing focus on the web Power Platform .
The framework is the same as for a position with us: a Swiss employment contract with Lambert Consulting, salary, payroll taxes, and insurance provided by us. We have held the federal authorization for temporary staffing since 2018—this is the authorization that makes the assignment legal in Switzerland, and it isn’t something you simply declare; it must be obtained. The only thing we won’t do is place you on an assignment whose technical details we don’t understand. We wouldn’t be able to defend you if things went wrong.
Payroll Services: Your Assignment, Our Structure
You have the project, the client relationship, and the rate. All that’s missing is the Swiss company that holds the contract. We provide that: the contracts are drawn up, the legal framework has been in place since 2018, and all that’s left is to agree on the details—just one call is all it takes to find out if it’s feasible.
The expert who is appointed to the case
You've landed an assignment—or are in the process of doing so—and the client requires that you be employed by a company. We become your employer for the duration of the assignment.
- Swiss Employment Contract, Salary, Social Security Contributions, and Insurance
- Customer billing, collection reminders, and payment collection
- Coverage in the event of an accident, illness, or loss of income
- A pay stub, and everything else that comes with a regular job
A law firm outside Switzerland that has a Swiss client
Placing an employee with a Swiss client requires a federal license for the provision of services. We have held this license since 2018. The Swiss employment contract is held by us; the relationship with your client remains yours.
- Compliance with Swiss labor law and the applicable agreement
- The salary paid in Switzerland, including the correct payroll taxes and deductions
- A recognizable local presence—something many customers expect
- A single point of contact, located in the same country as your client
We will not contact any customer whose name you provide to us
To discuss a project seriously, you need to tell us its name. We know full well what that entails: you’re giving an integrator the identity of a client whom they could approach directly.
We therefore sign a mutual confidentiality agreement before going into detail, and it reflects both our commitment and yours: we will not directly approach a client whose name we have learned from you. This isn’t a favor—it’s in our best interest. We’re an integrator, not a broker, and a contract that changes hands brings us no lasting benefit.
A Call to Understand the Mandate
Its nature, its duration, and the end customer. We won’t mention any names at this point if you’d prefer: we don’t need them to tell you whether it’s feasible.
The Confidentiality Agreement
Agreed, and vice versa. This document contains our commitment not to solicit business; it must be signed beforehand, not afterward.
The Arrangements
The rate, the breakdown, the fees, and the duration. There isn’t a published fee schedule: it depends on the case, and it’s negotiable.
Contracts
Employment contract, assignment contract, appendices. They exist, they are compliant, and they don’t need to be created for you.
Go check what you've just been told
A career page is always written by the company doing the hiring. These three allow you to cross-check the information, and they reveal more about the actual work than any of the paragraphs above.

Get thereCan't find a job that's a good fit? Apply anyway
We hire when we identify a need, not just when a job posting is open—the two positions listed above exist because clients created them, and the next one will be the same. If something on this page resonated with you, write to us: that’s the worst that could happen, and it’s not much.
Applications are reviewed by the people you would be working with, not by a recruitment agency. We’d much rather have one too many applications than one too few.
Write the letter yourself
We receive a lot of flawless but run-of-the-mill applications. A letter written by artificial intelligence is recognizable within three lines, and, more importantly, it doesn’t tell us anything about you—which is a shame, because that’s exactly what makes an application stand out.
- Why this position, and not another one with the same title?
- A setting that you created yourself, and for what size of house?
- What went wrong there, and what you did about it
- What You'd Like to Learn Here
No need for three pages. A few lines—even if they’re a little clumsy—but truly from you are better than a perfect letter that no one has written.
