• You coordinate the winter storage season and the deployment of our 65‑ton travel lifts.
• You are the first point of contact for our guest and permanent residents and ensure that our guests feel welcome from the very first moment.

With us, you'll become part of a crew that sticks together and stands up for each other.

• a secure and permanent job in a successful family business.
• a motivated team with flat hierarchies, short decision‑making processes and an open corporate culture.
