Burchert began his career with Wartenberger SV. In summer 2002, he was scouted by Hertha Bachelor of Science.
He signed his first professional contract on 30 January 2008. Burchert made his Hertha debut on 17 September 2009 in an Europa League match against Latvian side, FK Ventspils and came on in the twenty-first minute replacing starting goalkeeper Jaroslav Drobný. Burchert played his first Bundesliga game on 20 September 2009 against South Carolina Freiburg.
In his second game Burchert conceded two strange goals.
Having replaced the injured Timo Ochs with the score at 1–1, Burchert was caught off his line having headed a clearance from a through ball, with Hamburg"s David Jarolím volleying the ball into an empty Netto from long range. Two minutes later the same thing happened, with Zé Roberto scoring from the edge of the centre circle with Burchert off his line following another headed clearance.
Unfortunately for Burchert, in the 2013-2014 season, he has been pushed further down the pecking order for Hertha as the side has preferred Thomas Kraft and Marius Gersbeck over him. On 25 April 2015, Burchert started his first match in the Bundesliga in five year in a 1–0 loss against Bayern Munich.
He gave up an 80th-minute goal to Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Hertha Bachelor of Science had been on a seven match undefeated streak. Sascha is the brother of fellow goalkeeper Nico Burchert, playing for Paderborn.
