Location: Serbia
Salary: €1,300/month
Job type: Full-time
Experience: Entry
Openings: 35
Contract duration: 1 year
Cut metal profiles, operate grinding machines, and load cutting tables at a Serbian metal fabrication facility. 2-shift rotation, 40 hrs/wk. Housing, meals, PPE included.
Working in Serbia
Serbia is non-EU but has rapidly growing manufacturing investment from German, Chinese and Korean employers, plus a low cost of living. A work permit plus temporary residence is processed in 4 to 6 weeks — among the fastest in Europe. Cost of living is well below EU average; €400-600/month covers daily living for a single worker outside Belgrade. Limited established migrant communities but rapidly growing — most sites provide on-site accommodation and basic Serbian classes.
What this role looks like day-to-day
A metal-fabrication shift moves between loading raw stock onto cutting or bending stations, deburring and finishing pieces with hand tools, and checking dimensions against engineering drawings. Hearing protection and safety glasses are continuous requirements. This role suits workers with steady hands, comfort around loud machinery, and willingness to learn measurement tools (calipers, micrometers) on the job.

Cold winters, hot summers. Worker accommodation is centrally heated. Serbia 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.
Some roles need welding experience; others are support roles where you load stock, deburr, and dimensional-check parts. The job listing specifies which. Welding training and certification refreshes are paid where needed.
Processing typically runs 4-6 — among the fastest in Europe 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-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.
