Construction

Building firms look for skilled workers and labourers for shell work, fitting out and road building.

  • Bricklayer
  • Concrete worker
  • Steel fixer
  • Road builder
  • Construction labourer
  • Carpenter
  • Roofer
  • Scaffolder
  • Plant operator

Construction works to the rhythm of the year. Demand rises sharply in spring, and many trades rest in winter.

For candidates, experience counts most. Anyone who knows formwork, reinforcement or masonry finds a job quickly.

Safety comes before everything. Briefings must be understood, so a basic level of German is a must.

As an employer, please describe the sites and the arrangements for travel. That is decisive for candidates without a car of their own.

Typical requirements

  • Practice on building sites, ideally with a confirmation
  • German at level A2 for safety briefings
  • Evidence of training or courses
  • Fitness for work at height on scaffolds and roofs
  • A category B driving licence is often needed
  • Readiness to work at changing locations

Typical conditions

  • Full-time with a working time account across the year
  • The firm organises the journey to the site
  • An allowance and accommodation for jobs away from home
  • Protective equipment and work clothing are provided
  • Winter rules according to the collective agreement or the firm
