Germany’s construction sector is facing a severe skills shortage. With over 80,000 unfilled construction jobs and an ageing domestic workforce, German contractors and project managers are increasingly looking to Romania as a reliable source of qualified, motivated tradespeople. Romanian construction workers bring EU work rights, strong technical training, and a work ethic that has made them a top choice for construction firms across Germany.
At Solutions européennes pour les travailleurs, we specialise in connecting German construction companies with pre-vetted Romanian workers — fast, legally compliant, and with full support throughout the process.
Since Romania is an EU member state, Romanian citizens have the right to work freely in Germany without a work permit. However, there are several administrative requirements German employers must fulfil.
Romanian workers employed in Germany must receive at least the German minimum wage (currently €12.41/hour as of 2024, increasing to €12.82 in January 2025). In the construction sector, the applicable collective agreement (Bau-Mindestlohn) typically sets higher rates — currently €13.70/hour for unskilled workers and €15.70/hour for skilled workers (Tariflohn Bau). These rates apply regardless of whether the worker is directly employed or posted.
Romanian construction workers cover a full range of trades needed on German construction sites. Through our trades directory, you can find workers specialising in:

European Workers Solutions has developed a streamlined recruitment process that gets the right workers to your site quickly — typically within 2–4 weeks of initial contact.
We begin with a detailed call to understand your project requirements: trade types, number of workers, start date, project location in Germany, duration, and any specific certifications required (e.g., DGUV, scaffolding licences, first aid).
We match your requirements against our database of pre-vetted Romanian construction workers. All candidates have been interviewed, had their qualifications verified, and have references from previous projects in Germany or Western Europe.
You review CVs and, if required, conduct short video interviews. We facilitate communication in English, German, or Romanian as needed.
We handle Employment documentation is handled by our team.
Workers travel to Germany, typically by organised transport. We coordinate accommodation arrangements if required and ensure a smooth first-day induction on your site.
After placing hundreds of Romanian workers on German construction sites, we’ve seen the same avoidable mistakes repeatedly:
Most Romanian construction workers have basic German or English. However, for safety-critical roles or site leadership positions, language ability should be explicitly assessed during recruitment. We always screen for language skills as part of our process.
German housing costs are high. Workers who arrive without confirmed accommodation often leave within a week. We recommend securing accommodation before mobilisation and can assist with housing logistics.
The German construction industry is heavily regulated. Using Romanian subcontractors who are not properly registered in Germany or who operate without proper Zoll notification exposes the main contractor to liability. Always work with a registered, compliant partner like European Workers Solutions.
No. Romanian citizens are EU nationals and have the right to live and work in Germany without a visa or work permit. However, administrative requirements (Employment documentation is handled by our team. For urgent requirements, we can sometimes mobilise within 7–10 days for trades where we have immediately available candidates.
Day rates vary by trade and experience. As a guide, skilled tradespeople typically cost €120–€180/day all-in (including employer social contributions and agency fees), while unskilled labourers range from €90–€120/day. These rates represent significant savings versus equivalent German or other Western European labour.
You can hire Romanian workers directly (under a German employment contract), via a Romanian staffing agency (under the worker rules), or through a Romanian subcontractor. Each model has different tax, legal, and administrative implications. Contact to discuss which model suits your project.
We offer a replacement guarantee for all placements. If a worker is unsuitable and leaves within the first two weeks, we will replace them at no additional recruitment cost.
European Workers Solutions has been matching Romanian construction workers with German contractors since 2018. We handle everything — recruitment, legal compliance, documentation, and mobilisation — so you can focus on your project.
