Short candidate portrait

Signals that you will perform well

• You can describe 2–3 real projects with dates, scope, and equipment types.
• You work cleanly: labeling, tidy routing, and careful handover behavior.
• You communicate early about problems (missing parts, access, clashes, rework risk).
• You respect safety and never “improvise” around pressure, electricity, or refrigerants.

Pay floor, gross rates, timesheets

Germany statutory minimum wage as of 01.01.2026 is €13.90 gross/hour. For skilled HVAC profiles, project pay is commonly above the legal floor, depending on verified competence and the scope of responsibility.

How hours are confirmed

• Daily/weekly timesheets or digital check-in (site-dependent).
• Supervisor confirmation for overtime and commissioning extensions.
• Clear reporting of travel time rules (if applicable on a given project).

Important: gross pay is before taxes and deductions. Final take-home depends on your tax status, insurance structure, and individual payroll parameters.

Practical expectations on German sites

• Strict safety culture: PPE, marked routes, access control, and permit rules.
• Coordination with other trades (electricians, pipefitters, drywall/ceiling teams).
• Reliability matters: consistent attendance and predictable start times.
• Quality control: rework on HVAC is expensive; accuracy is expected.

Prepare these before applying

• CV in English (PDF) + phone/email + current city/country
• Passport scan (main page) + validity check
• Certificates and licenses (HVAC/refrigeration/electrical basics, if available)
• Project list: locations, dates, tasks, systems, tools (short and factual)
• Reference contacts (optional but valuable)

A high-quality CV includes

• Exact systems you worked on (e.g., VRF, chillers, heat pumps, AHUs, ducting, piping).
• Core tasks (installation, brazing, pressure testing, vacuum, charging, diagnostics).
• Safety competence and site roles (lead/assistant, commissioning support, service calls).

Strong documentation reduces verification time and improves response rates.
