The interviewer asks this question to see if your work style fits the company culture. Most companies want to hire employees who are a good fit on the team and demonstrate a strong work ethic and desire to see the company succeed. While there are many different work styles, the interviewer wants to determine if you prefer working on a team or independently. As an excavator operator, you will do both, and your response needs to reflect that you are comfortable with both.

You want to avoid describing your work style as one that would be questionable to the interviewer. If you describe your work style as strictly working on a team or working solo, you show that you do not have the flexibility to do both. You can emphasize that your work style is where you prefer working alone, but highlight how you value working on a team to achieve a common goal or receive feedback from your coworkers.

"My work style is a combination of working independently and working on a team. As an excavator operator, I often work alone in the excavator and enjoy the independence of my work. However, I also enjoy training apprentices, teaching them how to operate heavy machinery, and working with my crew to complete a project."
