Jobs available in Łódź

Listings may include order pickers, packers, warehouse workers, production operators, assemblers and quality controllers. Employers also recruit in logistics, e-commerce, household-appliance manufacturing, food, textiles and pharmaceuticals. Service roles include shops, kitchens, cleaning and hotels. Skilled candidates may find technical and office positions.

Why the exact address matters

Warehouses and factories are often near transport junctions outside the centre. Commuting may depend on an employer bus or transfers. Request the entrance address, pickup point, schedule, price and transport rules. Check the route for morning, evening and night shifts.

How to compare pay in 2026

Check gross or net pay, guaranteed hours, nights, overtime, weekends, downtime and deductions. From 1 January 2026, the minimum full-time salary under umowa o pracę is PLN 4,806 gross per month, while the minimum rate for civil contracts covered by law is PLN 31.40 gross per hour. These are statutory minimums, not guaranteed earnings; see the PSZ portal.

Schedules and physical conditions

Shift work is common in warehouses and factories. Ask about shift length, breaks, rotation, targets and voluntary extra hours. Check temperature, noise, standing work, load weights, scanners, workwear and training.

Contracts and protection

Umowa o pracę and umowa zlecenie provide different rules for working time, leave, sick pay and insurance. The contract must be in writing before work begins; before signature, the employer must provide a foreign worker with a version they understand. Verify the site, role, rate, schedule, payment date, term and deductions.

Documents for foreign workers

Legal employment requires lawful residence and the appropriate right to work. Depending on nationality and status, this may involve a permit, registered declaration, employer notification or statutory exemption. Check requirements at praca.gov.pl and compare them with the employer’s documents.

Accommodation and commuting

If an agency or employer arranges accommodation, request the address, photographs, occupancy, full price, deposit and refund rules. Cheap housing far from a warehouse may mean a long commute. Confirm deductions for rent, utilities and transport.

Is Polish required?

Some entry-level jobs require only safety instructions, scanner labels and basic commands. Polish is more often needed for quality control, documentation, retail, offices and supervision. International services may require English or another language. Technical work may require valid licences.

Checking an employer or agency

Request the legal name, NIP or KRS and verify official registers. Find an agency on the KRAZ page. Do not hand over your original passport or work without a contract. Every charge must have a lawful and documented purpose. Check rules on the PIP website.
