Carpenter — Romania

Role overview

MylesPort International is recruiting on behalf of a client — a licensed Romanian recruitment partner placing international workers with employers across Romania. Romania has a sustained shortage of construction, plant and logistics labour and recruits from outside the European Union on legal, contract-based employment supported by a state-issued work permit. Carpentry demand in Romania spans two distinct areas. Formwork and structural carpentry supports the concrete frame, building and aligning shuttering to tight tolerances. Finishing carpentry covers doors, frames, partitions, cladding, skirtings and fitted joinery on the fit-out side. Say clearly in your application which side of the trade you work on, and the systems you have used. Employers select on demonstrated accuracy, safe working at height and the ability to follow drawings with minimal supervision. Trade certificates and project references strengthen an application considerably. Roles are released as individual job orders, each with its own employer, location, salary and start date. Registering your interest now means your trade certificates, references and documents are verified in advance, so your profile is submitted the moment a matching order opens. Salary, accommodation, meals, transport and overtime arrangements vary by employer and are confirmed to you in writing before you commit to anything. MylesPort International does not quote figures it has not received from the employer.

Shortlisted candidates are contacted by a MylesPort International consultant for a screening interview and document check, then presented to the client for selection. Successful candidates complete a medical examination, police clearance and contract signing before visa processing begins, and receive the full written contract stating salary, working hours, leave and any cost items before making any commitment. MylesPort International does not charge job seekers a placement fee. Costs such as passport, medical examination, police clearance, visa, residency or licensing may apply depending on the destination country; these are explained to you in writing and confirmed at offer stage. Never pay cash to any individual, and never send money to anyone claiming to act for MylesPort International. Please note for this role: Romanian vacancies are released as individual job orders by employers through our partner agency, each with its own salary, accommodation and start date. Registering your interest now means your trade certificates and documents are verified and ready, so your profile is submitted the moment a matching order opens. Salary figures are confirmed per job order and never quoted before the employer has issued them.

MylesPort never charges candidates for a job offer, shortlisting or interview. Candidate safety notice.
