Your Gateway to Welder Jobs, Skilled Welding Hiring, and Industrial Recruitment in Poland.
Looking for a trusted welder recruitment agency in Poland? As a Poland-based recruiter, AtoZ Serwis Plus helps Polish shipbuilders, automotive and manufacturing plants, construction and infrastructure contractors, and metal-fabrication firms hire qualified welders — MIG/MAG welders, TIG (WIG) welders, coded and pipe welders, and structural welders — across Gdańsk, Gdynia, Szczecin, Warsaw, Wrocław, and beyond.
Poland is an EU and Schengen member and one of Europe's fastest-growing industrial economies. Its manufacturing, shipbuilding, and construction sectors face a real shortage of skilled welders, and the Type A work permit provides a clear route for hiring from outside the EU. This is our home market — we know it inside out.
Poland's shipbuilding industry in Gdańsk, Gdynia, and Szczecin is experiencing a renaissance, building and repairing vessels and offshore structures. Its vast automotive and manufacturing base — including major plants and tier-one suppliers — needs welders and fabricators, while a sustained construction and infrastructure boom adds further demand. Industrial expansion and skilled-labour shortages mean Polish employers increasingly recruit welders internationally.
We focus on welding and operate from Poland itself, so we understand the difference between a MIG/MAG welder for shipyard and structural work, a TIG welder for stainless and aluminium, a coded pipe welder, and a senior welding foreman — and we screen accordingly.
You gain a pre-vetted talent pool, faster time-to-hire, lower hiring risk through practical weld testing, lower total cost, and full compliance with the work-permit process, labour-market test, and 2025 employer obligations. We also share regional pay benchmarks and shortage insights.
We recruit MIG/MAG welders, TIG (WIG) welders, coded and pressure welders, pipe welders, shipbuilding and marine welders, structural-steel welders, sheet-metal fabricators, maintenance welders, and welding foremen. Services include permanent placement, contract and project hiring, bulk crew hiring for shipyards and factories, screening, EN ISO 9606 verification, Type A work permit and visa coordination, relocation and onboarding.
| Industry | Key Talent Needs |
|---|---|
| Shipbuilding (Gdańsk, Gdynia, Szczecin) | Hull welders, MIG/MAG and pipe welders, fabricators |
| Automotive & Manufacturing | MIG/MAG welders, robotic-cell operators, fabricators |
| Construction & Infrastructure | Structural welders, site welders, MIG/MAG welders |
| Metalworking & Machinery | TIG welders, coded welders, precision fabricators |
Figures below are indicative monthly gross pay; the Polish złoty (PLN) is the currency, with approximate euro equivalents. Pay varies by region, certification, and experience.
| Role | Indicative Monthly Gross (PLN) | Approx. EUR |
|---|---|---|
| Entry / general welder | 5,000 – 6,500 | €1,160 – €1,510 |
| Skilled MIG/MAG welder | 6,000 – 8,500 | €1,400 – €1,970 |
| TIG / coded / shipyard welder | 8,000 – 12,000+ | €1,860 – €2,790+ |
| Welding foreman / supervisor | 10,000 – 15,000+ | €2,320 – €3,490+ |
Shipyard and coded welders command the upper bands. Polish welding experience is recognised across the EU, making Poland a strong base for a wider European career.
EU/EEA and Swiss nationals work freely. For third-country welders, the most common route is the Type A work permit (zezwolenie na pracę), issued by the Voivodeship Office (Urząd Wojewódzki) for up to three years and tied to a specific employer, role, and location. Many applications require a labour-market test (informacja starosty) from the district labour office (about 14 days), unless the role is on the shortage-occupation list, which also allows an accelerated procedure. The worker then obtains a national (Type D) visa or a temporary residence and work permit (single permit). Under the June 2025 act, applications and contract uploads are filed electronically via praca.gov.pl, with ZUS social-security registration on start.
We map your requirements and confirm the permit route and any shortage-occupation fast-track, source through our networks, screen and EN ISO 9606-verify candidates, run practical weld and coding tests, complete reference checks, coordinate the Type A work permit, labour-market test, visa, and residence card, and support relocation and onboarding.
We source qualified welders from Ukraine, the Western Balkans, India, the Philippines, Nepal, and Central Asia, matching shipbuilding, manufacturing, and construction experience to Polish employers through the Type A work permit.
Shipbuilding's renaissance and ongoing industrial expansion keep welders in strong demand. The June 2025 reforms moved the system fully online via praca.gov.pl, tightened employer compliance, and introduced an accelerated procedure for shortage occupations — so well-prepared, compliant applications are essential to secure welders quickly.
Quality comes from our welding focus and rigorous screening. Compliance comes from following the work-permit process, labour-market test, and 2025 obligations at every step. Partnership comes from being a Poland-based, long-term welding-workforce advisor. Employers stay with us because we help them build stronger welding teams faster and with less risk.

The Type A work permit (zezwolenie na pracę) is the most common route, for a foreigner employed by a Polish-registered company. It is issued by the Voivodeship Office for up to three years and tied to a specific employer, role, and location.
Often yes — the employer obtains an informacja starosty from the district labour office (about 14 days) confirming no suitable Polish or EU candidate is available. Shortage-occupation roles are exempt and qualify for an accelerated procedure.
Yes. Poland's manufacturing, shipbuilding, and construction sectors face a real shortage of skilled welders, driving strong demand for qualified international candidates.
Indicative monthly gross pay ranges from about PLN 5,000–6,500 (€1,160–€1,510) for entry-level welders to PLN 8,000–12,000+ (€1,860–€2,790+) for TIG, coded, and shipyard welders, with foremen higher.
Employers expect EN ISO 9606 welder qualifications (MIG 131, MAG 135, TIG 141 or arc), with EN 1090 for structural steel and coding for shipyard and pipe work, plus typically two years' experience. We verify all qualifications and run practical weld tests.
Gdańsk, Gdynia, and Szczecin (shipbuilding), Warsaw and central Poland (construction and manufacturing), Wrocław and Poznań (automotive), and Silesia (metalworking) lead demand.
Timelines depend on the labour-market test and permit processing; shortage occupations are faster. The full work permit, visa, and residence-card path typically takes a couple of months. We prepare complete files to avoid delays.

Hiring the right welder is one of the most important decisions a Polish shipbuilder, automotive or manufacturing plant, construction contractor, or fabrication firm will make. The right hire delivers sound welds, passes inspection, and keeps projects on schedule; the wrong hire fails weld tests, compromises safety, and drives up turnover costs.
