Greece is in the middle of a construction boom and short of the people to build it. Firms are managing a pipeline of projects worth billions of euros and, by industry estimates, needed tens of thousands of additional workers across 2024 to 2025, particularly skilled trades. HRCM connects that demand with the workers who can meet it, recruiting for construction companies across Greece and helping skilled professionals from Greece and abroad find real roles. Whether you are searching for construction jobs in Greece or hiring skilled trades, HRCM connects the two.
Roles we recruit for
We staff across the trades and the professional grades that construction projects depend on:
Skilled trades: welders, carpenters, steel fixers, masons, electricians, plumbers, and finishers.
Plant and machinery: heavy machinery and crane operators, and equipment specialists.
Site and project roles: site supervisors, foremen, quantity surveyors, civil and structural engineers, and project managers.
Whether a firm needs a single specialist welder or a full crew for a new project, we source candidates who are qualified, available, and ready to work.
For construction employers
Greek construction firms are competing hard for a limited pool of skilled labour, and a large share of foreign workers who arrive move on to other EU countries within a season or two. That makes reliable sourcing and retention a real business risk. HRCM helps on both sides: we recruit qualified candidates matched to your project needs, and we support workers with accommodation and settling-in so the people you hire actually stay and perform. Our team is based in Athens and works face to face with clients and workers, so when a placement or a document needs sorting, someone local handles it.
For construction workers
If you are a skilled tradesperson or a construction professional looking for work in Greece, HRCM places candidates into firms that need your skills, and helps with the practical side of relocating, including accommodation and the paperwork around working here. Joining our candidate network is free.
Get in touch
Employers: tell us the roles, skills, and timeline for your project and we will source candidates who fit. Workers: send us your CV, trade, and availability and we will match you to firms that are hiring. Contact HRCM at https://www.hrcm.gr/contact.
Frequently asked questions
What construction jobs are most in demand in Greece?
Skilled trades are the tightest part of the market, including welders, carpenters, steel fixers, electricians, plumbers, and heavy machinery operators, along with site supervisors, civil and structural engineers, and project managers. Demand is driven by a large pipeline of infrastructure and building projects and a shortage of skilled labour.
Can non-EU workers get construction jobs in Greece?
Yes, subject to work-permit and residence requirements. Greece has opened large numbers of positions to third-country nationals to address labour shortages. HRCM guides workers and employers through the relevant documentation; the exact process depends on nationality and role.
Does HRCM help construction workers with accommodation?
Yes. We help arrange housing and support workers with settling in, so people arrive ready to work rather than scrambling to find somewhere to live.
How does HRCM charge employers?
We work on a recruitment and staffing basis with employers. Contact us with your project needs and we will explain terms for your situation. There is no fee for job seekers.
Do you recruit for projects outside Athens?
Yes. We are based in Athens but recruit and place for construction projects across Greece.
