About the job

Do you thrive on taking leadership, making decisions, and safely delivering large civil works contracts to completion? If so, you are the person we are looking for on behalf of Arkil's Civil Engineering department in Silkeborg!

About the job

As a foreman at Arkil in Silkeborg, you will have a central and responsible role. We are seeking an experienced and dedicated foreman who is fully project-managing and not a working foreman. You will be responsible for driving and managing large civil projects, typically valued at over 5 million kroner. The projects range from road projects, road widening, noise-screen installations, and especially larger civil projects primarily in main contracts. Geographically, the projects will typically be in and around Central/West Jutland, but you should expect that there may also be work anywhere in the country.

Your primary tasks will include

  • Daily management, control, and progress of larger civil projects.
  • Motivating and leading the hourly-paid workers in your team to ensure well-being and effective collaboration.
  • Close cooperation with suppliers and responsibility for daily planning.
  • Participation in bidding, including reading drawings and optimizing cases.
  • Assembly and staffing of the right team for each project.
  • Daily client dialogue and participation in construction meetings.

About you

You come with solid experience as a foreman and have tested your leadership skills with a strong understanding of the practical work on the ground. Your most important professional ballast is a strong background in large civil projects, where you have led major civil projects. Knowledge of urban sewerage is an advantage, but it is the heavy earth- and civil works that are central to the role.

We also imagine that you

  • Have strong people skills and know what it takes to build team spirit and drive a crew.
  • Have a good overview and can stay calm and make decisions – even when things move fast.
  • Are prepared to tackle calculations and can express yourself well both orally and in writing.
  • Have basic IT understanding and curiosity to use digital tools in everyday life.

Ark il offers

You will become part of a very healthy and well-run department with an excellent reputation in the industry. Here there is headroom, a flat structure, and an environment where the door is always open. Management is present and on a level, and you are given great freedom to manage your own tasks.

In addition, you will receive

  • An attractive remuneration package that reflects your qualifications, as well as a good pension scheme, a flexible benefit account, and pay for overtime.
  • Great daily flexibility and full respect for the balance between work life and private life.
  • A unique social cohesion with a strong office community and ongoing events such as a summer party, go-karting, Christmas lunch, and joint dinners on projects.
