Previous experience is desired
Your main job responsibilities will include participating in grave digging, covering, and other lighter construction tasks. As you will be working with excavation, a high safety awareness and the ability to assess risks are required. The work is physically demanding and requires good physical condition. You will also encounter people in grief, so a high level of empathy is essential.
We offer secure employment conditions and a safe working environment, as well as a collective agreement. You will have many competent colleagues who care for each other in everyday life. Continuous professional development is a given for us.
In our effort to create workplaces that promote health, we offer both wellness grants and the opportunity to train at a gym in our own facilities. With our flexible working hours agreement, it is easier to combine work and leisure. Our lunch card makes it cheaper to have lunch in the city.
QualificationsWe are looking for someone with experience in the construction industry or equivalent. Work takes place at all cemeteries in Malmö, and to transport ourselves between them, a minimum of a B driver's license for manual transmission is required.
The work is varied, and therefore you should enjoy working both in a team and independently. You are flexible and willing to learn new things. Precision and organizational skills are self-evident concepts for us, even under time pressure.
As we have many safety instructions and use digital work orders, it is important that you master the Swedish language in both spoken and written form.
