Welder TIG (141) (WIG-Schweißer)

Germany minimum wage floor

From €13.90 gross/hour (statutory minimum wage in Germany effective 01.01.2026). TIG offers for proven stainless/pipe skills are typically higher and depend on project scope, test results, shift model, and documentation.

Project geography

Germany locations commonly include: Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and NRW (project-based). The exact site depends on current demand and verification outcome.

Legal route is mandatory

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

Core responsibilities (TIG 141)

Screening checklist (what “ready” means)

Certificates help, but a clear project record and test performance are often decisive. List certificates accurately (type, scope, year) and avoid unclear claims.

Short portrait of the right candidate

• Clean technique: you protect stainless parts from contamination and keep your weld area controlled.
• Heat discipline: you understand how to avoid overheating, warping, and ugly discoloration.
• Process stability: your arc control is repeatable across shifts, not “good only on a lucky day”.
• Drawings-first mindset: you verify joint details and tolerances before starting.
• Test-ready: you can demonstrate competence on a controlled TIG test without long adaptation time.
• Team compatibility: calm communication, predictable productivity, and safe behavior.

Reality check: Germany requires a legal route

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

• Skilled routes: more realistic with documented qualifications, a coherent CV, and verifiable experience.
• Other 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 goal is compliant work, clear documentation, and predictable payroll.

• Contract & payroll: employment arranged by a Polish company; payroll remains documented, and amounts are communicated as gross.
• Compliance baseline: pay for work performed in Germany must meet applicable legal requirements, including the statutory minimum wage floor.
• Documentation workflow: onboarding usually includes identity checks, CV verification, and confirmation of your actual skills (often by test).
• Social security paperwork: assignment documentation may include social-security confirmation depending on your case (commonly referenced as “A1” in EU contexts).
• Accommodation & transport: project-specific—may be provided or coordinated; final details are confirmed only after verification.
• Shift & overtime: site schedules vary; compensation rules are defined by project and contract terms.

We avoid generic promises. For TIG roles, the deciding factors are documentation quality, test results, and the project’s material/precision requirements.

Prepare these before you apply

• English CV (PDF): include TIG 141 scope, materials (304/316), thickness range, pipe vs assemblies, and project dates.
• Passport scan + your current location (country/city).
• Certificates (if available): welding tickets, safety training, medical checks (if applicable).
• Project snapshot: 6–10 lines describing: where, when, what you welded, and what standards/symbols were used.
