Excavator Operator

Hey there! We’re Filip Bricklayer – a small, family-oriented crew doing serious groundwork, construction, and renovation jobs. We’re growing and looking for a skilled excavator operator to come on board.

What you’ll be handling:

• Operating excavators (from mini to 30-ton track machines) for digging, trenching, levelling, and foundation work
• Precision digging: trenches, profiles, backfilling, and grading to exact levels
• Loading/unloading materials like soil, sand, gravel
• Assisting with pipe, cable, and drainage installation
• Working from levels, drawings, and pegs with great accuracy
• Daily machine checks, basic maintenance, and keeping equipment clean
• Making sure the site stays safe and organised
• Collaborating closely with groundworkers and the rest of the team

What we offer (honest and clear):

• Competitive hourly rate based on your experience and precision
• 30 vacation days + extra time off
• Good pension plan
• Travel allowance + option for a company van
• Yearly bonus for strong performance
• Team get-togethers (BBQs, drinks, whatever the group votes)
• Support for training (VCA, safety, operator certificates, new skills)

What we’re looking for:

• At least 1–2 years operating excavators (mini, midi, or larger tracks preferred)
• Experience with different machine sizes and precision work
• You have (or are willing to get) VCA and machine operator certification
• Driving licence B (C or CE is a plus)
• Flexible to work at various sites nationwide
• Decent English (Dutch advantage but not essential)
• Safety-first mindset, attention to detail, and you take ownership – while enjoying some flexibility in planning your day

If you think you’d fit with a team that trusts each other and values good balance, drop us your CV or a short message about your experience.

We get back quickly – usually within days.

Excited to hear from you! Filip & the crew
