MIG/MAG Welder – Industrial Fan Manufacturing

Our partner manufactures industrial fans and ventilation units in Gliwice, Śląskie, Poland. The role suits a welder already confident in MIG/MAG work, in a steady production environment with a scheduled annual pay review.

Recruitment and employment are handled through a licensed Polish staffing company (agencja pracy) that is an official partner of Akay Program.

Important note: This position does not offer visa sponsorship from Vietnam. It is open only to candidates already legally resident in Poland. Under the rules in force since 1 June 2025, a visa issued by another Schengen country does not entitle the holder to work in Poland, even where a work permit is held.

Scope of work

• Welding industrial fan components and structures using MIG 135 or MAG 135.
• Reading and working to basic technical drawings.
• Selecting and adjusting welding parameters to suit the material and the joint.
• Preparing material and surfaces before welding.
• Checking weld quality and correcting defects.
• Keeping the work area and welding equipment to safety standard.

Candidate requirements

• Proven experience welding with MIG 135 or MAG 135 is required.
• Ability to read basic technical drawings is required.
• A good feel for welding parameters and the ability to work independently. This is a requirement, not a nice-to-have.

• Legally resident in Poland, holding a valid passport and valid residence documentation (residence card, or written confirmation of a pending application).
• Willing to work shifts and overtime when the plant requires it.
• No Polish or English language requirement for this role.

• The only accommodation-related deduction is the 11 PLN daily utilities charge, waived once performance reaches 100%.
