Working Through a Staffing Agency in Norway – How It Works?
Do you have experience in construction and are considering working in Norway?
Working through a staffing agency makes the process simple and safe, which is why many workers choose this solution. Simply send us your CV and information about your experience – for example as a carpenter, painter, formwork carpenter or installer. We then assess whether your experience matches current projects and contact you if there is a suitable match.
When we have a project that fits your profile, we provide clear information about the job location, hourly wage and working hours. This is also the right time to ask questions, as we give honest and transparent descriptions of the work tasks. Before starting work, you sign an employment contract that specifies salary, working hours and employment conditions. In addition, we assist with practical matters such as obtaining a D-number, tax card and bank account, especially if you are new to Norway.
Accommodation is often arranged in advance, and you usually live together with other workers on the project. The employer does not organize transportation; however, we help by providing information about public transport options to the construction site. At the beginning, the first days are used for onboarding and HSE training (Health, Safety and Environment) to ensure that everyone returns home safely after work.
You work at the staffing agency’s client site, but your employment contract is with the staffing agency. If issues arise related to working hours, accommodation or organization, you contact us, which means you are never left alone. Salary is paid regularly to your bank account, most often every 14 days or monthly, and all working hours and wages are carefully recorded.
After a project is completed, you may be offered new assignments. Workers who are punctual, follow rules and communicate well therefore have the best chances of stable and long-term employment. Working through a staffing agency makes everyday work easier, because we handle the practical matters, provide ongoing support and ensure that you can focus on your job. Choose a reliable agency and do your work properly, and you will have good opportunities in Norway.
