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
On a construction site you'll move between manual material handling, assisting trades (carpenters, masons, ironworkers) and following the site supervisor's daily plan. Outdoor work in all weather is normal; PPE is provided and mandatory. This role suits workers in good physical condition, comfortable working outside, and able to follow safety rules carefully — a single mistake on a building site has consequences.
