About the job

The company primarily works with burying cables in the ground and subsequently reinstating sidewalks, pavements and surrounding areas so that everything looks neat and tidy again.

About the job

You typically work in a team of two people, where one is the machine operator and the other a handyman. As the machine operator, your primary task will be to operate a mini excavator in connection with the excavation work.

However, it is important that you do not only want to sit in the machine. You must also be prepared to take part in the practical and physical work together with your colleague, including digging with a shovel and reinstatement after the work is finished.

A car with a trailer is provided as a standard, since you drive from home (unless otherwise agreed)

This is a temporary position with a view to permanent employment

Your tasks will include

  • Driving and operating a mini excavator
  • Excavation in connection with laying cables
  • Physical work and hand digging where necessary
  • Reinstatement of sidewalks, pavements and other areas
  • Collaboration with your partner on the daily task
  • Ensuring that the work area is left neat and tidy

Professional qualifications

We expect that

  • You have practical experience as a machine operator and are used to driving a mini excavator
  • You have a minimum driving license B+E
  • You have experience with excavation work – preferably in connection with cable, utilities or contracting work
  • You are prepared for both machine operation and physical work
  • You speak and understand Danish

About you

As a person you are

  • Reliable and responsible
  • Thorough and have a sense of tidiness
  • A good colleague who thrives on working closely with a partner
  • Not afraid to take action and use a shovel
  • In good physical shape, as the work can be physically demanding
  • Able to present a criminal record

Working hours

Monday-Thursday: 07:00-15:15

Friday: 07:00-14:45

If this sounds like something for you, and you have experience with mini excavators and trenching work, we would love to hear from you.

You will be employed by JKS on collective agreement terms.
