Construction site instead of office: you have real machines at your disposal – from excavators to cranes; you support the construction crew in producing foundations for overhead line systems; heavy machines: you become a professional on various track construction machines such as piling and drilling equipment, and you'll also pass the test with our support; teamplay and technology: together with your team you master the challenges on site and grow with your tasks; pure variety: you accompany the construction of overhead line systems from the foundation to the mast installation – every day brings new tasks; you will be on our construction sites at various locations nationwide and at varying working hours; driving licence: we cover the cost of your car driving licence. You can also take the exam for excavator and loader operator.
