• Confident measuring & marking; works to tolerance; respects sequence.
• Owns workmanship: clean joints, consistent alignment, predictable outcomes.

A concise project list (where / when / what exactly you installed) improves screening speed.

Interior carpentry on German sites

This role is typically assessed by how you measure, fit, and finish under time pressure — not by “years on paper”.

Quality checkpoints (what supervisors notice first):

• Accurate layout, clean cuts, stable fastening.
• Edges, joints, gaps: visually consistent and measurable.
• Protected finished surfaces; no avoidable damage.

What you will do (role-specific)

• Read drawings or site instructions; plan installation sequence and tolerances.
• Measure, cut, assemble and install interior elements (fit-out / joinery / fittings).
• Align, level, fix and finish surfaces; correct misfits without damaging finishes.
• Coordinate handovers with other trades to avoid rework and delays.
• Keep tools maintained; keep the work area clean; protect finished areas.
• Follow German site safety rules (PPE, inductions, access rules, permits).

Typical tasks you should mention in your CV

Detailed requirements (screening-grade)

Experience

• Demonstrable interior carpentry / joinery / fit-out practice (projects, tasks, tools).
• Ability to work from drawings, measurements, and on-site coordination instructions.
• Predictable pace without losing quality (German sites are schedule-driven).

Tools & technical comfort

• Measurement discipline: tape, laser, square, marking, consistent verification.
• Safe tool handling: saws, drills, drivers, sanding/finishing tools (site rules apply).
• Fasteners and fixing logic suitable for interior substrates; clean work methods.

Language & communication

• English for onboarding and daily coordination is required.
• Basic German is a strong advantage (A1–A2 helps with safety briefings and logistics).

Non-negotiables

• CV in English (PDF preferred) — mandatory for review.
• Safety-first behavior and readiness for German site discipline.
• Reliable availability and predictable attendance (projects penalize instability).

How projects commonly work (no external links)

Many Germany-based assignments are executed through a Polish company model (employment in Poland with posting/assignment to Germany). This structure typically combines Polish HR administration with strict compliance to mandatory German rules that apply on-site.

• Employment & payroll: contract and HR administration via a Polish entity; salary paid on documented time records; payslips provided.
• Social security logic: where applicable, posting documentation (e.g., A1) is used for compliant coverage while working in Germany.
• German mandatory standards: minimum wage floors, working time protections, and health & safety rules must be respected on the German site.
• Practical support: project coordinator contact, onboarding instructions, and site access process (induction, PPE rules, reporting lines).
• Accommodation & travel: conditions depend on the project; if provided, standards and rules are communicated before start.

Reality check: Germany requires a legal route

Language is not the only filter. Non-EU candidates usually need an appropriate residence/work pathway. Skilled profiles have more realistic options; entry-level profiles are typically more difficult.

Routes that can be relevant (case-by-case)

• Skilled worker route (§18a): more realistic if your vocational qualification can be recognized (Anerkennung) and your profile matches the role.
• Western Balkans Regulation: applies only to citizens of six Western Balkan countries, subject to current rules/quotas.
• Other pathways: depend on sector, role level, and authority practice; always assessed individually.

Final eligibility depends on nationality, documents, employer role, and authority decisions. We only proceed when a compliant route exists.

Prepare these before applying

• CV in English (PDF) + phone/email
• Passport scan + your current location (country/city)
• Certificates/licenses (if relevant)
• Short project log: locations, dates, tasks, tools used
• Optional: photos of finished work (only if allowed and non-confidential)

Clear documentation reduces verification time and increases response quality.
