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
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.

24 positions are open on this contract, with a 1 year renewable agreement and pay between €1,650-1,815/month. 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.
