Steel Fixer — 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. Steel fixing is specialist reinforcement work on concrete structures: cutting and bending bar, placing and tying cages and mats to the bar bending schedule, and ensuring correct cover, spacing and lap lengths before the pour. Accuracy here is structural, not cosmetic, and the trade is valued accordingly. Romanian employers look for fixers who can read a bar bending schedule and reinforcement drawing without supervision, work at pace in a gang, and maintain quality under the pressure of a pour date. 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.
