Find a groundworker with Jobby
- Why searching takes time. Infrastructure construction sites operate year-round and require teams capable of handling physically demanding outdoor work. Experienced earthworkers and roadworkers often stay with the same contractor for years, meaning they rarely apply for vacancies. On JobFunders, there are 300+ vacancies open for earthworkers in Flanders (surveyed in September 2026): you are therefore competing with many other employers for the same people.
- Typical regimes. Day work on public and private construction sites, departure from the depot with shift transport, and adjusted hours for work along busy roads.
- This is how Jobby helps. Jobby searches talent pools of 260,000+ profiles 24/7 and also activates passive candidates who do not respond to vacancies. The first SMS invitations are sent within 2 minutes of activation; you will see your first candidates within 48 hours. Set your "VCA certificate" and "experience with sewage works" as must-haves, and you will receive groundworkers who can immediately join a public construction site.
- Salary according to your sector. If your company is a construction company, you can find the hourly rates by category on our page about the minimum wage in the construction industry. In other sectors, the salary scale of your own joint committee applies; you can look this up in the minimum wage database.
- Fair price. An annual subscription of €1,500 (Solo) to €6,000 (Scale) with a match guarantee, or €100 per approved candidate. A free ATS is included and there are no selection fees.
- And compared to interim? As a market average, a traditional interim agency charges a coefficient of approximately 2.10 on the gross salary for the duration of the interim period. If you still wish to start on an interim basis, Jobby finds and screens the candidate, and you work via payroll for an interim partner at a market-average coefficient of approximately 1.60. These are estimates: adjust them with your figures in the recruitment cost calculator. If you need groundworkers who are immediately available at very short notice, an interim agency can be the right choice.
