Job Vacancy Services places international logistics workers into Polish distribution hubs and handles the documentation, work permit, and relocation so your move is structured from the start.

Logistics roles JVCS recruits for in Poland

Warehouse and distribution operatives
Pickers and packers
Forklift and reach-truck operators
Goods-in and dispatch staff

Day to day, that means picking, packing, and moving goods in distribution hubs, working within scanning and warehouse-management systems, and meeting throughput and accuracy targets on shifts.

Work permit and visa timeline for Poland

Most non-EU candidates enter on a single temporary residence and work permit, or a type A work permit paired with a national (type D) work visa.

Poland follows the EU single-permit framework: the competent authority is required to take a decision on a complete application within 90 days (Directive 2011/98/EU). In practice, voivodeship office processing can run longer at busy periods, so JVCS prepares documentation in parallel with sourcing to protect the start date. Rather than promise a single figure, JVCS gives you a realistic, role-specific timeline once the route and employer are confirmed.

JVCS placements in logistics across Poland

JVCS has placed 6,000+ workers across 4 European offices, owning the full chain from sourcing to post-arrival support.

Logistics placements into Poland's distribution hubs are a regular part of our work, and each one follows a structured route from documentation and permit through to arrival, so your move stays predictable from day one.

Poland reports persistent labour shortages in construction, transport and logistics, and healthcare (European Labour Authority, 2024), which is what drives structured international hiring into the country.

How JVCS handles your documentation

Documentation is where cross-border moves most often slip, so JVCS owns it end to end. We review your documents early, flag any gaps before they cause delays, and run the permit paperwork in parallel with sourcing rather than in sequence.

From there we coordinate the work permit, travel, and arrival, and stay available through your first weeks on the ground — a single point of accountability for the whole process.

Pay for logistics jobs in Poland

Logistics pay in Poland tracks the role and shift: licensed forklift and reach-truck operators and night or weekend shifts typically earn premiums above entry-level picking and packing.

As a legal floor, Poland's statutory minimum wage was about €977 per month gross in January 2024 (Eurostat). Actual pay depends on the role, employer, and your experience, and JVCS confirms the package for any specific placement before you commit.
