European Workers Solutions supplies skilled, pre-vetted Romanian construction workers to contractors and construction companies across France. Whether you are managing social housing programmes, commercial developments, infrastructure rehabilitation, or large civil engineering projects, we provide reliable, fully EU-compliant workforce solutions tailored to the demands of the French construction market.
France has one of the largest construction sectors in Europe, and it faces persistent labour shortfalls across all major trades. With ambitious national housing targets, ongoing Grand Paris infrastructure works, and a substantial programme of energy renovation (rénovation énergétique) for the existing building stock, French contractors are under growing pressure to source experienced tradespeople quickly. Romanian workers — EU citizens with strong professional qualifications and extensive site experience — offer a legally compliant and cost-effective solution that integrates smoothly into French project operations.
Romania is an EU member state, meaning Romanian workers have the right to work in France without a work permit. The French worker system (détachement de travailleurs) is well-established and straightforward for EU-based staffing agencies to operate within, making Romanian workers one of the most accessible and compliant sources of skilled labour available to French contractors.
Romanian tradespeople bring recognised professional qualifications, experience on European sites across multiple countries, and a strong professional work ethic. European Workers Solutions manages all employment compliance declarations, employment documentations, employment contracts, and logistics — so your project team receives qualified, documented workers with no administrative burden on your side.
We source and deploy workers across all major construction disciplines for projects throughout metropolitan France. Available trades include:
Structural and civil works: formwork carpenters (coffreurs-bancheurs), reinforcement fixers (ferrailleurs), concrete finishers, civil groundworkers and earthworks operatives.
Specialist trades: scaffolders (échafaudeurs), structural steelworkers, welders (MIG/MAG/TIG), heavy equipment operators (grue, pelle, chariot télescopique).
Finishing and fit-out: bricklayers (maçons), plasterers (plâtriers), tilers (carreleurs), drywall fixers (plaquistes), painters and decorators (peintres), roofers (couvreurs), floor layers, insulation workers (isolation thermique par l’extérieur).
MEP trades: electricians (électriciens bâtiment), plumbers and pipe fitters (plombiers-chauffagistes).
General: manœuvres qualifiés, material handlers, site logistics operatives.
All candidates are individually screened with verifiable project references. For a full overview of available trade profiles, visit our Services page.
France has a rigorous and well-enforced workers regime. Full compliance is essential, and European Workers Solutions manages all French obligations as standard.
employment compliance Declaration: All employers placement workers to France must submit a prior declaration via the employment compliance portal (Système d’information sur les prestations de services internationales) before work begins. We ensure full compliance with French employment law.
Représentant en France: Our local presence in France ensures full compliance with French labour law. European Workers Solutions designates this representative for all deployments, ensuring your project is fully compliant.
Employment documentation: Every worker must hold a valid employment documentation confirming social security affiliation in Romania during the employment period. We obtain employment documentations for all workers prior to deployment.
SMIC and Sectoral Wage Compliance: Workers posted to France must receive at least the applicable French minimum wage (SMIC) and any higher rates set by the relevant sectoral collective agreement (convention collective du bâtiment). European Workers Solutions ensures all pay arrangements comply with French minimum wage obligations before workers begin.
Carte BTP: From 2017, all construction workers on French sites must hold a Carte d’identification professionnelle du bâtiment et des travaux publics (Carte BTP). We obtain Carte BTP for all workers before their deployment to France.
Our process is designed to mobilise qualified workers to your French project site within two to four weeks of initial contact.
Day 1–2: Requirement call — we confirm trade types, project location in France, number of workers needed, programme start date, duration, and any specific qualifications, language requirements, or certifications.
Day 3–7: Candidate matching — we select pre-vetted profiles and present CVs for your review. Video interviews can be arranged for key roles or supervisory positions.
Day 7–14: Approval and legal processing — following your confirmation, we complete employment compliance declarations, employment documentations, Carte BTP applications, employment contracts, and pre-deployment briefings.
Day 14–28: Mobilisation — workers travel to France with transport coordinated by us. Accommodation is confirmed before arrival. Workers receive a full orientation covering French site safety requirements and documentation expectations.
Language is an important consideration for projects in France. Unlike in Germany or the Netherlands, English is less commonly used as a site language in France. Many Romanian workers have some French — Romanian and French share Latin roots, which gives Romanian workers a meaningful language advantage over workers from non-Latin countries. For roles requiring working French, we screen for language ability as part of our recruitment process.
Accommodation must be planned carefully. Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux and other major French cities have limited and expensive housing. We advise confirming worker accommodation before mobilisation and can assist with identifying suitable options near your project.
The Carte BTP and employment compliance requirements add some administrative lead time compared to other EU countries — building these steps into your mobilisation planning from the outset avoids delays.

Do Romanian workers need a work permit to work in France?
No. Romanian citizens are EU nationals with the full right to live and work in France without a work permit. European Workers Solutions manages all employment and compliance documentation for every worker.
What documentation is required and who handles it?
employment compliance is France’s mandatory online pre-declaration system for foreign workers posted to France. The declaration must be submitted before work begins. European Workers Solutions files the employment compliance declaration on your behalf as a standard part of our service.
What is the Carte BTP and do workers need one?
The Carte BTP (Carte d’identification professionnelle du bâtiment) is a mandatory professional ID card for all workers on French construction sites, including workers. European Workers Solutions obtains the Carte BTP for all workers prior to their deployment to France.
Do Romanian workers speak French?
Romanian and French share Latin language roots, which gives Romanian workers a stronger natural basis for French than most other nationalities. Many have functional French from prior project experience. For roles where French is operationally important, we screen specifically for language level during recruitment.
How quickly can Romanian workers be on site in France?
Typically within two to four weeks of initial contact. The Carte BTP application requires some additional lead time — we factor this into the mobilisation schedule from the start to avoid delays.
What are typical all-in day rates for Romanian workers in France?
Day rates vary by trade and experience. As a guide, skilled tradespeople typically range from €130–€190 per day including employer contributions and agency fees. General labourers range from €95–€130 per day, representing meaningful cost savings versus French or German labour equivalents.
Can you supply workers for the Grand Paris projects or other large public programmes?
Yes. We have experience supplying workers to large-scale infrastructure and public sector construction programmes. Requirements for specific certifications, safety training, or compliance documentation are assessed and met during our recruitment and onboarding process.
