Open House

We have very different equipment and the position contains many different tasks. So it is a bit difficult to give a good overview in an advertisement like this. Therefore we invite all interested potential applicants to come and visit us Thursday 8 October from 16.00 to 17.00 . Then Lars-Ole - our departing Pilot Technician – will show you around in Pilot and answer questions. This is not a recruitment interview, so participation is not a prerequisite to apply for the job and we do not register those who attend.

Workplace is Zealand – Zealand's Vocational Academy, Maglegårdsvej 2, 4000 Roskilde.
