How to find scaffolder jobs in Europe 2025

The Swedish construction industry may be slowing down, but that doesn’t mean your career has to.

Thousands of scaffolders are currently between jobs. Projects have been paused. Hiring has slowed. Companies like Skanska, Peab and NCC are pressing the brakes. But if you know where to look, you’ll see something different.

Construction is still going strong – just not in the same places as before. This is how to find scaffolder jobs in Europe 2025

Why there’s still demand for scaffolders across Europe

It’s easy to think the work is gone. But the reality is, the jobs have simply moved. In Norway, Germany and the Netherlands, the pace is still high. Projects are moving forward and they need experienced scaffolders – now more than ever.

We’ve seen a steady increase in demand across the following areas:

• Infrastructure upgrades in Northern Europe

• Residential and commercial maintenance projects

• Energy and industrial installations

That means your skills are still valuable – just in a different part of the map.

This is not the time to wait

When the industry shifts, you have two choices. You can sit back and hope for things to return to normal. Or you can position yourself to stay ahead of the curve.

Now is the time to prepare. Register your profile. Update your experience. Be visible when the next opportunity appears – because it will.

Scaffolders who act early are the ones who land the first jobs when demand spikes again.

Why you should skip the big job platforms

Most scaffolders use platforms like Blocket Jobb or Jobbsafari. But the problem is simple – they are not built for construction workers.

You end up scrolling for hours through irrelevant listings, wasting time and missing real opportunities.

ByggJobs works differently. It’s designed for skilled workers in construction, infrastructure and energy. You see only relevant roles. You can filter by country, trade and availability. And best of all – it’s completely free.

But once they registered with ByggJobs, they started getting contacted. They got matched with new projects – both in Sweden and across Europe. One small action led to a big shift.

And that’s what you can do too.
