About this role

Feed metal into presses, remove stamped parts, and deburr sharp edges at a Slovak metalworking plant. 2-shift rotation, 40 hrs/wk. Housing, meals, safety gloves and boots 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 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.
