This page lists 417 jobs in the canton of Zurich, including Winterthur and the area around the airport, where English is the only language the employer asks for. German is the local language, so it still helps in daily life and for many other roles.

Do you need a work permit?

EU and EFTA citizens can take a Swiss job under free movement. Everyone else, including UK citizens since 2021, needs a qualified role and an employer who applies for the permit. See Swiss work permits explained.
