Drilling rig operator (Bohrgeräteführer)

A German group of companies from Saarbrücken, specialising in mining and rock construction, tunnel and gallery building, special underground works (Spezialtiefbau) and drilling. The company carries out driving and reconstruction of galleries, shafts and tunnels, anchoring and shotcreting, blasting and grouting works, piling and anchoring, and securing of excavations and rock slopes. Several lines of activity provide work all year round. About the role: You operate a drilling rig and work in a team of 2–3 colleagues. Besides operating the machine, it is also physical work on site — you help the team, the team helps you. Sites are in Germany, France or Luxembourg. An option for a beginner: the company offers an internal traineeship provided your German is good enough. Work mode: Mon–Fri. If the site is near — you sleep at home; if far — accommodation is arranged together with the team (paid by the company). Why this employer: • Official employment in Germany and a permanent relocation • Work all year round — no winter layoffs • Saturday and Sunday are usually free • Trips only Monday to Friday (max 4 nights away) and within ~300 km; sites are often close to home • Accommodation on trips — proper hotels or apartments (no construction cabins) • Company car for getting to the site • Friendly team, flat hierarchy with direct access to management • Regular training and upskilling • Equipped common rooms (kitchen, bar, billiards, table football) • High-quality workwear and full head-to-toe equipment • Own large workshop that quickly solves problems on site • On-time pay and real career growth: as your skills grow, so does your salary Important information: • For the first month the company fully pays and arranges accommodation in Saarbrücken (so you can settle in and find your own place — we help); after the first month you pay for housing in Saarbrücken yourself. On trips to remote sites the company pays for accommodation there • Travel to Germany at the start is at the candidate's expense • If you have not worked in Germany before, you need to apply for a tax number (Steuernummer) — this takes at least 3 months; during that period tax is withheld at class 6, and once you have the number the overpayment is refunded • We are looking for people for the long term, ready to relocate permanently; we do not consider those who want to stay only a few months
