Serbia – Booming Opportunity for Construction & Warehouse Workers

The labour market in Serbia is uncovering new possibilities for construction and warehouse roles, making it a valuable destination for workers in these fields. With rising foreign investment, infrastructure projects and supply-chain growth, demand is opening up in sectors beyond traditional seasonal agriculture.

Why Serbia now?

Although Serbia’s seasonal job market has traditionally focused on agriculture and forestry, new vacancies are appearing in construction and logistics. For example, work-visa assistance is being offered for construction and handyman roles with monthly salary ranges quoted. The simplified visa process for seasonal jobs (Type D visa for up to 120 working days) in certain sectors shows how Serbia is opening to foreign labour.

Construction & warehouse roles – what’s happening

Here’s what’s making Serbia a strong option:

Construction boom: With infrastructure upgrades, residential building and warehouse/distribution centres expanding, there’s a need for labourers, tilers, plumbers, electricians and general workers.
Warehouse/logistics: Companies are establishing warehouse hubs and are looking for packers, order-pickers, maintenance staff. One job portal lists “packer/order picker warehouse jobs” in Serbia.
Relatively lower wage base: While salaries might be lower compared to Western Europe, roles are still officially documented with work permit or visa support, making it accessible for workers who are flexible.
Visa & permit ease: Seasonal or short-term work arrangements can allow foreign nationals to work legally in Serbia under certain conditions (up to 120 working days for agriculture/forestry) but signals of broader work permit options exist.

Key things job-seekers should check

Role specificity: Ensure the job is clearly described (type of work, duration, pay, accommodation) and the contract is official. The employer should be registered.
Visa/permit: Confirm whether you are eligible for the correct visa type (e.g., Type D or seasonal) and understand the maximum work-duration allowed.
Conditions: Warehouse or construction work may involve early shifts, physical labour, long hours; ensure you’re comfortable.
Accommodation: Some roles may include or require employer-provided accommodation/food; check details.
Future options: While many roles may be short-term or seasonal, ask whether longer contracts, renewals or permanent work permit pathways exist.

Serbia is emerging as a meaningful destination for construction and warehouse workers. With formalised visa routes, active demand, and relatively accessible roles, it’s worth exploring. While conditions will differ from Western Europe, if you match the right candidate with the right job (realistic expectations, proper contract, clear terms) this could be a strong placement story.
