Production lines rely on consistent pace, clean documentation, and strict quality discipline. The strongest candidates are
those who can follow work instructions precisely, keep output stable, and report deviations immediately—without improvising.
Anti-template note (internal)
This page uses a deterministic “anti-template” engine that varies block order, list style, the vacancy story and the FAQ
based on the page URL. The content remains stable for this specific page and does not rotate randomly per visit.
Work authorization (non-EU)
Reality check: Germany requires a legal route
For many candidates, language is not the only factor. Non-EU applicants typically need an appropriate residence/work pathway.
Entry-level production roles can be more restrictive than skilled roles, so documentation and route feasibility matter.
Profile clarity: stable work history and a complete CV significantly improve screening.
Sector rules: sites may require safety briefings, health checks, or hygiene compliance (role-dependent).
Compliance baseline: pay and working time must respect German rules applicable to the project and sector.
This is general information and not legal advice. Final eligibility depends on nationality, documents, employer requirements, and authorities.
What you will do
Core responsibilities (line-focused)
What “good performance” means on site
Predictable pace • clean handovers • zero “hidden defects” • correct labeling/traceability • disciplined safety behavior.
What we look for
Requirements (detailed and practical)
CV structure that passes screening
Add 2–4 bullet points per job: tasks, shift type, quality checks,
scanner/labeling, output responsibility. Keep it factual.
Short candidate portrait
Who fits best
Can repeat the same sequence accurately for hours without cutting corners.
Follows instructions strictly and asks when something is unclear.
Notices defects early and reports deviations immediately.
Works calmly in a fast environment (line rhythm, targets, handovers).
Respects hygiene/safety rules and keeps the station organized.
Helpful extras: basic German, prior line work, scanner experience, and shift flexibility.
Pay & compliance
Gross (brutto) pay baseline
All pay references on this page are gross (brutto). The legal baseline in Germany is the statutory minimum wage:
€13.90 gross per hour
Effective from 01 January 2026.
Depending on the site, gross pay may also include shift-related components (role/site dependent). Final conditions are defined by the project and the employment model.
Note: certain assignments can have higher effective floors due to applicable sector rules or posted-worker compliance requirements.
Higher chance • scanner use + quality checks in prior jobs
Nice to have • basic German + shift flexibility
The most common blocker is incomplete documentation (missing CV, missing work history details, unclear availability).
Working in Germany with a Polish employer
What this usually looks like in practice
Many Germany assignments are delivered by teams employed by a Polish company and delegated to German sites.
Operationally, you work on-site in Germany, while the employer manages payroll and documentation within the agreed legal model.
This section is general operational information and not legal advice. Final conditions depend on the project, nationality, documents, and authority decisions.
