Romania is one of the fastest-growing job markets in the European Union. Employers from Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca to Timișoara, Iași, Constanța and Brașov are recruiting for airports, car plants, building sites, hotels, farms, hospitals, warehouses and the Bucharest Metro.
Romanian companies have struggled for years to find enough workers, because millions of Romanians moved abroad to work. That gap is why construction firms, logistics operators, factories, hotel chains, bakeries and agricultural businesses now actively recruit both local people and workers from outside the EU. Many entry-level roles provide training on the job, while qualified electricians, welders, drivers and technicians are offered noticeably higher pay and overtime.
Wages in Romania are paid in Romanian lei (RON). The national gross minimum wage rose from RON 4,050 to RON 4,325 per month on 1 July 2026, and salaries are always quoted gross before income tax, pension and health contributions. Many employers add meal vouchers (tichete de masă), transport to work, free accommodation for out-of-town workers, and Easter or Christmas bonuses, so the real value of a package is often higher than the base figure.
This guide explains which sectors and cities are hiring, the exact job titles to look for, realistic gross pay for every role, the work-permit route for non-EU citizens, the documents you will need, and how to apply safely. Remember that in Romania, as elsewhere, a genuine employer never asks workers to pay for a job.

Why 2026 Is a Good Time to Work in Romania
Romania’s economy has been boosted by EU-funded motorways, railways, hospitals and housing projects, by car production at the Dacia plant in Mioveni and the Ford Otosan plant in Craiova, and by a growing network of logistics parks along the A1 and A3 motorways. At the same time, many sectors face a structural shortage of workers, so the government sets an annual quota for newly admitted non-EU employees and employers are used to recruiting internationally.
Pay has also risen steadily, with the minimum wage increased again in July 2026. Combined with a cost of living that is still lower than in Western Europe — especially outside Bucharest and Cluj — Romania offers a realistic option for people who want stable employment inside the EU, a chance to save money, and experience that is valued by employers across Europe.
Sectors Hiring Right Now Across Romania
Below is a breakdown of the main job families in Romania, the titles to search for on job portals, and the regions where each one is in highest demand.
Airport Jobs
Roles in demand: Airport Security Officer, Ramp Support Crew, Baggage Handler, Airport Cleaner, Ground Support Staff.
Bucharest Henri Coandă (Otopeni) is the country’s main hub, and airports in Cluj-Napoca, Iași, Timișoara, Sibiu, Suceava, Craiova, Bacău, Oradea and Constanța have grown quickly with low-cost airline bases. Ground-handling companies hire ramp agents and baggage handlers for loading and pushback, security contractors recruit screening officers who complete certified aviation-security courses, and cleaning teams work round-the-clock shifts in terminals and aircraft cabins.
Driving Jobs
Roles in demand: Truck Driver, Parcel Driver, Delivery Driver, Bus Driver, Personal Driver.
Romania is home to some of Europe’s largest international haulage fleets, so drivers with a C or CE licence and the CPC (atestat profesional) are constantly in demand for routes across the EU, earning a base salary plus daily travel allowances. Courier networks in every county need parcel and delivery drivers with a B licence, city operators recruit bus drivers with a D licence, and companies and private families in Bucharest hire personal drivers.
Construction Jobs
Roles in demand: Construction Worker, Electrician, Plumber, Carpenter, General Labourer.
Motorway sections, railway modernisation, metro tunnels in Bucharest and Cluj, residential blocks and industrial halls keep construction companies hiring nationwide. The building sector has its own higher minimum wage set by collective agreement, and experienced formwork carpenters, steel fixers, electricians and plumbers are often offered free accommodation and transport near the site.
Hotel & Hospitality Jobs
Roles in demand: Hotel Cleaner, Housekeeping Staff, Kitchen Helper, Waiter, Food Service Worker.
Tourism peaks on the Black Sea coast at Mamaia, Constanța, Eforie and Vama Veche in summer, in the mountain resorts of Poiana Brașov, Sinaia and Predeal in winter, and year-round in Bucharest, Brașov, Sibiu and Cluj. Hotels and restaurants hire housekeepers, kitchen helpers, waiters and canteen staff, and seasonal coastal contracts frequently include accommodation and meals.
Agriculture & Farm Jobs
Roles in demand: Dairy Farm Worker, Fruit Picker, Farm Worker, Polyhouse Worker, Livestock Worker.
Romania has some of the largest farms in the EU on the Bărăgan Plain, in Dobrogea and in the Banat. Orchards in Argeș, Vâlcea and Bistrița-Năsăud need fruit pickers for plums, apples and cherries, vineyards in Vrancea, Dealu Mare and Cotnari hire for the grape harvest, and the village of Matca in Galați County is famous for thousands of vegetable polytunnels. Dairy and livestock farms in Transylvania and Bucovina employ milkers and animal-care workers all year.
Healthcare Jobs
Roles in demand: Healthcare Assistant, Support Worker, Aged Care Worker, Caregiver.
Public hospitals, private clinic networks and a fast-growing number of private elderly-care homes need nursing assistants (infirmieri), carers and support workers, particularly in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Iași, Timișoara and Târgu Mureș. Many care homes and home-care services offer training for new staff, and live-in caregivers are hired by families in the larger cities.
Cleaning Jobs
Roles in demand: Commercial Cleaner, Office Cleaner, Hotel Cleaner, Industrial Cleaner.
Facility-services companies clean office towers in Bucharest’s Pipera and Floreasca districts, shopping malls, hospitals, schools and factory floors across the country. Office cleaning is often done early in the morning or after business hours, while industrial cleaning in car plants and food factories pays more because of shift work and specialist equipment.
Factory & Manufacturing Jobs
Roles in demand: Garment Factory Worker, Production Worker, Packaging Worker, Warehouse Worker.
Car and auto-parts plants dominate manufacturing in Mioveni (Dacia), Craiova (Ford Otosan), Timișoara, Arad, Sibiu, Brașov, Cluj and Oradea, while garment and footwear factories operate in Bacău, Suceava, Botoșani, Vaslui and Maramureș. Food-processing, packaging and furniture plants hire production operators, packers and storekeepers on rotating three-shift schedules.
Warehouse & Logistics Jobs
Roles in demand: Warehouse Worker, Picker/Packer, Forklift Operator, Logistics Assistant.
Large logistics parks around Bucharest (Chitila, Ilfov and the A1 corridor), Ploiești, Pitești, Cluj-Napoca and Timișoara serve retailers, e-commerce companies and car-parts suppliers. Forklift operators need an ISCIR-authorised forklift licence, while pickers, packers and logistics assistants are trained on scanners and warehouse software after hiring.
Skilled Trade Jobs
Roles in demand: Electrician, Welder, Mechanic, HVAC Technician, Plumber.
Shipyards in Constanța, Mangalia, Galați and Tulcea need certified welders and pipefitters, energy and industrial plants need maintenance electricians, and car dealerships and truck workshops across the country are short of mechanics. Demand for HVAC technicians and plumbers has grown with new office buildings, residential projects and heat-pump installations.
Supermarket and Retail Jobs
Roles in demand: Cashier, Shelf Stacker, Store Assistant, Deli & Bakery Counter Staff, Store Supervisor.
International and Romanian supermarket chains, discounters, hypermarkets and DIY stores are opening new locations in towns of every size. Retail jobs are a common first job in Romania, with training on tills and stock systems, meal vouchers and staff discounts, and clear promotion to team leader or supervisor.
Metro Jobs
Roles in demand: Metro Train Operator, Station Assistant, Customer Service & Ticket Agent, Track & Maintenance Technician.
The Bucharest Metro, run by the state company Metrorex, operates five lines and is building the M6 line towards Henri Coandă Airport, while Cluj-Napoca is building Romania’s second metro. Metrorex recruits train drivers, station staff, ticket agents and maintenance technicians through competitive selection with full training. Surface transport operators such as STB (Bucharest public transport) and CTP Cluj-Napoca also hire tram, trolleybus and bus drivers and technicians.

Who Can Apply — Eligibility
Citizens of EU and EEA countries and Switzerland can work in Romania without a permit; they only need to register their residence and obtain a personal numeric code for tax and social security. For most jobs you must be at least 18, fit for the work, and able to follow instructions in Romanian or English — basic Romanian is a real advantage for customer-facing and healthcare roles.
Non-EU citizens need a work permit before travelling. The Romanian employer applies to the General Inspectorate for Immigration (IGI) for an aviz de muncă, within the annual quota set by the Romanian Government for newly admitted workers. Once the permit is approved, you apply for a long-stay visa for employment (D/AM) through the eVisa portal of the Romanian Foreign Ministry and the Romanian consulate in your country, and after arrival you request a single residence permit from the IGI. Licensed jobs such as truck and bus driving, forklift operation and electrical work also require the matching certificate.

|---|---|---|---|
| Airport | Shift workers who enjoy busy environments | 18+, clean criminal record, aviation-security course for screening roles | Airport ground-handling and security firms |
| Driving | Licensed drivers comfortable on the road | B licence for delivery; C/CE or D licence with professional certificate for trucks and buses | Hauliers, couriers, transport operators |
| Construction | Hands-on, physically fit workers | Health and safety induction; trade experience for skilled roles | Construction companies, agencies |
| Hotel & Hospitality | Friendly, service-minded people | Food-hygiene training for kitchen roles | Hotels, resorts, restaurant chains |
| Agriculture | Outdoor and seasonal workers | Good physical health; no formal education | Farms, agricultural cooperatives |

⭐ APPLY ONLY THROUGH OFFICIAL EMPLOYERS OR AUTHORISED AGENCIES.
Search on ANOFM (National Employment Agency), trusted portals such as BestJobs and LinkedIn Jobs, and authorised recruitment agencies like Adecco Romania, Randstad Romania and ManpowerGroup Romania. Agencies may not charge candidates a fee for placement, and no genuine employer sells a work permit or visa. If someone demands money for a Romanian job, refuse and report it to the Labour Inspectorate (Inspecția Muncii) and the police.
Information & Documents Commonly Required
- A valid passport (non-EU) or national identity card (EU citizens).
- For non-EU workers: the work permit (aviz de muncă), the long-stay D/AM visa and, after arrival, the single residence permit.
- A signed individual employment contract (contract individual de muncă), registered by the employer in the national employee register.
- A CV, ideally in Romanian or English, with your experience and certificates.
- A criminal-record certificate from your home country, often required for the work permit.
- A medical certificate confirming you are fit for work (the employer arranges an occupational-health check).

- A Romanian bank account for your salary and, for some roles, proof of accommodation.

Step-by-Step: How to Apply for Jobs in Romania
Where to Find Official Romanian Job Openings
- ANOFM (National Employment Agency) — the national public employment service with vacancies from every county.
- General Inspectorate for Immigration (IGI) — official information on work permits and residence for foreign workers.
- eVisa portal of the Romanian Foreign Ministry — the official online application for Romanian long-stay visas.
- Labour Inspectorate (Inspecția Muncii) — the authority that enforces labour law and handles complaints.
- BestJobs and LinkedIn Jobs — popular job portals with thousands of Romanian vacancies.
- Adecco Romania, Randstad Romania and ManpowerGroup Romania — authorised recruitment and staffing agencies.
- STB (Bucharest public transport) and CTP Cluj-Napoca — public transport operators in Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca.
- Be cautious of social-media posts promising Romanian work permits for money — only the employer can apply for an aviz de muncă.
Employee Benefits & Training Programs
- Paid leave: At least 20 working days of annual leave plus about 15 public holidays.
- Meal vouchers: Monthly tichete de masă offered by many employers on top of salary.
- Accommodation and transport: Common for construction, farm, factory and seasonal coastal jobs.
- Bonuses: Easter, Christmas and performance bonuses at many companies.
- Health insurance: National health coverage plus private clinic subscriptions at larger firms.
- Training: Paid forklift, driver, welding and aviation-security courses.
- Career growth: Promotion from operator to team leader and shift supervisor.
Worked Example
Ramesh is a certified welder with six years of experience. He finds a vacancy at a shipyard in Constanța through an authorised agency. After a video interview and a practical welding test recorded on video, the employer offers him RON 7,800 gross per month, free shared accommodation and meal vouchers.
The shipyard applies to the IGI for his work permit, which is approved within the legal processing time. Ramesh then applies for the D/AM visa online, travels to Romania, signs his contract, passes the occupational-health check and requests his residence permit in Constanța. He never pays a recruitment fee — the agency is paid by the shipyard.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Paying an agent for a “guaranteed” Romanian work permit — only the employer can apply to IGI, and agencies may not charge candidates.
- Travelling on a tourist visa and hoping to switch to work — employment requires the D/AM visa.
- Accepting an offer without knowing the net salary — Romanian salaries are quoted gross.
- Starting work before your contract is signed and registered.
- Ignoring accommodation details — confirm who pays for housing and utilities.
- Leaving documents with an employer or agent — always keep your own passport.
Your Rights & Staying Safe from Job Scams
Every employee in Romania, Romanian or foreign, has the right to a written employment contract, at least the national minimum wage, paid leave, rest breaks, overtime compensation and safe working conditions. Foreign workers with a valid permit have the same rights as Romanian colleagues, and complaints about unpaid wages or unsafe work can be made to the Labour Inspectorate (Inspecția Muncii).
Warning signs of a job scam include requests for payment for a permit, visa, training or accommodation before you travel, offers without an interview, salaries far above normal rates, and recruiters who refuse to name the employer. Verify every company and vacancy, keep your passport in your own possession, and report suspicious recruiters to the authorities.
