Iceland becomes a new frontier for Moldova’s top construction talent – here’s why your company should act now.
Iceland Needs Builders. Moldova Has the Best
For the first time in history, Iceland officially opens collaboration with the Republic of Moldova for recruiting highly skilled construction workers through the Association of Recruitment Agencies of Moldova (ARA).
A new partnership between ARA and the Icelandic construction company Krissi smiður ehf, led by Kristofer Gunnarsson, sets the stage for something much bigger: a recruitment corridor between Iceland and Moldova, driven by the European-standard professionalism of Moldovan workers – most of them already holders of Romanian (EU) passports. These are the words said today by Petru Maleru, the General Director of the Association of Recruitment Agencies of Moldova (ARA).
- No work permits required
- No English language requirement
- Deployment within 10 days
- Only EU passports (Romanian) needed
Why Moldovan Workers Are in High Demand
Moldovan construction professionals are renowned across Europe and Israel for their skill, discipline, and speed. In fact, thanks to a government-level agreement between Moldova and Israel, over 7,000 Moldovans have been trained and employed in civil construction, becoming highly specialized and internationally certified experts.
These workers are now available for Icelandic companies—without any migration or permit barriers, due to their dual Moldovan–Romanian (EU) citizenship.
What Kind of Construction Work?
ARA provides skilled workers for all residential and commercial building sectors, including:
- Roofing and insulation
- Drywall and plasterboard (rigips)
- Interior and exterior finishing
- Structural reconstruction
- Masonry and flooring
- General renovation and repairs
Most workers are already part of the EU labor market and come with international site experience from Germany, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, and Israel.
