About the role

As a teleoperator / safety truck driver for internal transport (m/f/d), you will safely remotely control trucks with trailers and a total load of up to 40 tons from hundreds of kilometers away.

How does it work? With Fernride's teleoperation software, camera images from the vehicle are transmitted to your teleoperator workstation in real time.
