Portrait
GEOTEST employs experienced experts, dynamic junior staff, experienced practitioners and innovative tinkerers. As an independent public limited company, we determine our vision and our values ourselves.
Vision
It is our aim to be the leading Swiss provider of services in geosciences. For this reason, “innovation” and “development” are not just empty phrases for us, but part of our everyday life. In the future, we want to offer our customers complete solutions more frequently by coordinating
projects from A to Z – without unnecessary coordination among multiple parties and loss of know-how.
Presence
Together with our subsidiary TERRE Ltd, we are present in all corners of Switzerland – with eight locations and around 180 employees. We are also active outside the country’s borders, we carry out around 5 percent of our contracts abroad. So far we have worked on projects in over 15 countries, for example in Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Iceland, Norway, Greece, China, Germany, Austria, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia.
Culture
We aim to earn your trust, through careful problem analysis, individual consultations and comprehensive, customised solutions. In order to provide you with the best possible results, we consistently invest in the training of our employees, in innovations and in our infrastructure.
Last but not least, we offer our employees an attractive and diverse range of work activities. Our entire stock holding is owned by our senior staff, which guarantees our economic independence.
Values
GEOTEST is trustworthy, customer-orientated, quality-conscious and innovative.
These four core values not only characterise our understanding of service, they have also been defined and established by our employees. Because only something that is lived by the grassroots can bring long-term success.
