Construction job openings at Deutsche Bahn
The Migration Agency under the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan has announced the recruitment of construction specialists to work for the German railway company Deutsche Bahn. As Kun.uz reports, citing the agency's announcement, hired employees will receive a gross monthly salary of 3,418.84 euros — the amount before taxes and mandatory deductions. Additional pay is provided for overtime, weekend and holiday work, and vacation amounts to 30 paid days per year.
What the company offers
In addition to wages, Deutsche Bahn will assist with finding housing and registering in Germany, as well as with professional development. A key element of the program is a free 8-month German language course to be organized in Tashkent, with the company covering the costs. Upon completing the course, candidates must pass a B1-level exam: knowledge of German is not required at the application stage, but without a B1 certificate it will not be possible to leave for work in Germany.
Who is being recruited and what documents are needed
Vacancies are open in several areas: repair of railway platforms, stations and other structures; bricklaying, concrete and general construction work; building foundations and underground structures; drilling, pile driving and post installation; as well as simple geodetic measurements. Basic requirements include a specialized construction education, practical technical skills, the ability to perform physical labor and work in a team. Construction work experience and a category B driver's license are an advantage. Candidates must provide a school certificate with a grade transcript, any diplomas they hold, a resume, documents confirming work experience, a passport and, if available, a driver's license.
Context
The announcement is notable because the company covers the full cost of language training and conducts it in Uzbekistan — meaning candidates do not need to invest in learning German in advance to apply. However, the final salary should be assessed with caution: the stated amount is gross, actual take-home pay will be lower after taxes and deductions, and the exact amount of deductions is not disclosed in the announcement. The publication does not specify application deadlines or the number of available positions.
