General Construction Worker — 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. General construction workers are the highest-volume requirement on the current demand list. You would join site teams on residential, commercial and infrastructure projects, supporting the skilled trades and carrying out the groundwork, handling and site duties that keep a build moving. No formal trade certification is required for this role. What matters is site discipline, physical fitness, reliability and a willingness to learn. Many workers who start as general labourers progress into a specific trade, and Romanian employers routinely support that progression with on-site training and certification. 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.

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.

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.
