Location: Slovakia
Salary: €1,350/month
Job type: Full-time
Experience: Entry
Openings: 55
Contract duration: 1 year
Operate wrapping machines, load packaging lines, and inspect sealed products at a Slovak packaging facility. 2-shift rotation, 40 hrs/wk. Housing, all meals, work clothing included.
Working in Slovakia
Slovakia per capita produces more cars than any other country in the world — Volkswagen, Kia, Stellantis and Land Rover all operate full-scale assembly plants here. A single permit covering work and residence usually clears in 6 to 10 weeks at consulates abroad. Cost of living is roughly comparable to Czech Republic; Bratislava is the most expensive but most plants are in lower-cost regions. Vietnamese and Serbian communities anchor most migrant networks; English is widely spoken inside multinational plants.
What this role looks like day-to-day
A normal day moves between picking orders against a hand-scanner, packing them on labelled pallets, and operating a low-level forklift or pallet jack. Modern warehouses are climate-controlled and most picking is done within walking distance of your station. This role suits workers comfortable on their feet, with steady hand-eye coordination, and an ability to maintain accuracy as the picking pace builds toward end-of-shift cutoffs.

Basic English (A2-B1) - language courses available on-site
Cold continental winters. Worker accommodation is centrally heated. Slovakia has growing migrant-worker communities, especially in industrial cities. Free time activities, religious facilities, halal/vegetarian food access — these vary by city and CHI Recruiting briefs every worker pre-departure.
For this specific role: Basic English (A2-B1) - language courses available on-site. Most multinational plants run in English on the floor with simplified communication and pictogram safety signs. Free or subsidised on-site language classes are common after month 1.
Processing typically runs 6-10 weeks once your documents are in order (passport, education attestation, police clearance, medical fitness). CHI Recruiting handles the employer-side application; the worker pays government fees (medical, embassy, document chain) which are disclosed transparently up front.
No prior experience is required for this position. Paid on-the-job training runs through your first 2-4 weeks at the plant, after which you operate independently with periodic supervision. Workers from any blue-collar background adapt smoothly.
Forklift or pallet-jack certification is paid by the employer and is typically completed within the first 2-4 weeks. Workers without certification still pick orders manually until certified — pay is the same.
Salary is €1,350/month. Contract is 1 year renewable. This intake covers 55 placements. Most contracts in our partner network include shared accommodation, meals on shift, work uniform and PPE — confirmed on the offer letter.
