The training required to become a deminer depends on the specific role. On the one hand, explosive ordnance disposal experts have many years of experience and advanced training across different contexts. On the other, locally recruited deminers are trained directly by FSD. FSD provides intensive four-to-six-week training programmes on site for local staff, combining theory and practice. The courses focus on the use of metal detectors and other demining tools.

No, FSD does not process unsolicited applications. Our job openings correspond to very specific profiles tailored to precise contexts. All our vacancies are published on our dedicated page.

With the exception of a few international experts, FSD employs only staff directly in the countries where it operates, to provide employment opportunities and transfer skills to local populations. If you are a national of one of FSD’s countries of operation, you can contact the relevant national office via our contact page. 

Yes, FSD accepts international profiles at its headquarters, provided that candidates hold a valid work permit for Switzerland. For young professionals, the “Young Professional Agreement” concluded with 14 countries makes it possible to obtain a temporary permit of up to 18 months in order to gain initial work experience related to their studies.
