Openings: 15
Contract duration: 1 year
Work as a Metal Fabrication Support Worker in Albania's industrial sector, assisting with metal cutting operations, deburring and finishing metal parts, and handling raw materials in a fabrication workshop. The schedule runs Monday to Friday, 07:00–15:30 (40 hours/week) with overtime available. Housing, daily meals, and full safety gear are provided at no cost. This is a 1-year renewable contract - no prior metalwork experience is needed.
Working in Albania
Albania is an EU candidate country with growing construction, hospitality and agriculture sectors and one of the lowest costs of living in Europe. A work permit and residence permit combination is processed in 4 to 8 weeks via the Albanian consulate or e-Albania portal. Living expenses are very low — €300-450/month covers essentials for a single worker outside Tirana. Migrant-worker communities are still small; many employers provide structured onboarding and language coaching.
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.
