Germany minimum wage floor

From €13.90 gross/hour (statutory minimum wage in Germany effective 01.01.2026). Offers for certified welders are typically higher and depend on the project, shift model, test results, and documentation.

Project geography

Germany locations commonly include: Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and NRW (project-based). Exact site and start date depend on current demand and verification outcome.

Legal route is mandatory

Non-EU candidates need an appropriate residence/work pathway. Eligibility depends on nationality, documents, and authority decisions.

Core responsibilities (MIG/MAG 135/136)

Minimum expectations (screening checklist)

Certificates (if you have them) should be listed clearly in the CV. If a certificate is outdated, we still evaluate real skill via testing and documented project history.

Short portrait of the right candidate

• Stable hands, stable process: you do not “chase” the weld—your bead is consistent and repeatable.
• Practical discipline: you prepare joints properly, keep consumables in order, and do not skip safety steps.
• Drawings-first mindset: you check symbols and dimensions before welding, not after.
• Test-ready: you can demonstrate skill on demand without long warm-up excuses.
• Team compatibility: you communicate calmly, accept feedback, and keep productivity predictable.

Reality check: Germany requires a legal route

For non-EU candidates, “English-speaking” is not enough. A legal work pathway is required and depends on your nationality, documents, and authority decisions.

• Skilled worker route: more realistic when your vocational qualification can be recognized and your profile fits a skilled role.
• Other regulated routes: depend on current rules, your background, and employer requirements.

This is general information and not legal advice.

Working in Germany with a Polish employer (project model)

Many projects operate on an assignment model: the employment relationship is organized by a Polish company, while work is performed on Germany-based sites. The practical goal is simple: compliant work, clear documentation, and predictable payroll.

• Contract & payroll: employment arranged by a Polish company; payroll remains structured and documented, with amounts stated as gross.
• Compliance baseline: project pay must meet legal requirements for work performed in Germany (including the statutory minimum wage floor).
• Social security paperwork: depending on your case, assignment documentation may include social-security confirmation (commonly referenced as “A1” in EU contexts).
• Accommodation & transport: project-specific—may be provided or coordinated; details are confirmed only after profile verification.
• Workwear & safety: PPE expectations are strict; site rules may require additional briefings and compliance checks.
• Shift & overtime: schedules vary by site; overtime rules and compensation are defined per project requirements and contract terms.

We do not publish “one-size-fits-all” promises because conditions differ by site. Verified documents and test results drive realistic offers.

Prepare these before you apply

• English CV (PDF): include process 135/136, materials, positions, thickness ranges, and projects.
• Passport scan + your current location (country/city).
• Certificates (if available): welding tickets, safety training, medical checks (if applicable).
• Project snapshot: 6–10 lines: where, when, what you welded, what standards/symbols you used.
