Working in Czech Republic
Czech Republic is central Europe's automotive hub — Skoda, Hyundai and TPCA all run plants here, plus dozens of tier-1 suppliers. The Employee Card combines work and residence rights and typically takes 8 to 12 weeks to process at the consulate stage. Cost of living is roughly half that of Germany; Pilsen, Mlada Boleslav and Ostrava are the main industrial towns with affordable rent. A long-established Vietnamese community and growing South Asian presence make integration easier than in some other CEE countries.
What this role looks like day-to-day
A typical shift on the line involves torquing fasteners to spec, monitoring a station's pneumatic-press cycles, and visually inspecting each part before passing it downstream. Most plants run 3-shift rotations (morning, afternoon, night) so your body acclimatises in 2-3 weeks. This role suits workers who can stand and repeat precise hand movements for 7-8 hours, focus on small details when tired, and follow strict safety procedures around heavy equipment.
Who fits and how to apply
Hiring is currently active for 30 workers at €1,850-2,035/month on a 1 year contract. Workers without prior factory experience are welcome — onboarding covers the equipment, safety rules, and shift rhythm. Basic English (A2) — language courses available on-site on the language side. Contract benefits include accommodation, meals, uniform, employer-provided accommodation, work permit and visa support. CHI Recruiting handles document preparation, employer match, work permit and visa filing — full paid recruitment service with transparent pricing disclosed before you commit.

Basic English (A2) — language courses available on-site
Continental — cold winters. Worker accommodation is centrally heated. Czech Republic 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.
Most plants run morning (06-14), afternoon (14-22) and night (22-06) shifts on a 3-week rotation. The rhythm sounds harsh on paper but the body adjusts in 2-3 weeks. Night shifts often pay 15-25% more.
Processing typically runs 8-12 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.
For this specific role: Basic English (A2) — 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.
Salary is €1,850-2,035/month. Contract is 1 year renewable. This intake covers 30 placements. Most contracts in our partner network include shared accommodation, meals on shift, work uniform and PPE — confirmed on the offer letter.
