Petronord provides full-service staff leasing throughout Estonia. Whether you need workers for a large construction project in Tallinn, a manufacturing facility in Tartu, or a logistics operation in Narva, we deliver qualified professionals quickly and compliantly. Our Estonian staff leasing operations are fully compliant with the Employment Contracts Act (Töölepingu seadus), the Working Time Organization Act, and all applicable labor regulations.

Cities We Operate in Estonia

Tallinn — Capital and Economic Hub

Tallinn is the economic center of Estonia and our most active market. The city’s booming construction sector, growing logistics industry, and thriving commercial property market create continuous demand for skilled workers. We supply construction teams for residential developments in Lasnamäe, Õismäe, and Haabersti, commercial projects in the city center and Ülemiste business district, and infrastructure projects across the greater Tallinn metropolitan area (including Harjumaa). The port of Tallinn also generates significant demand for logistics and warehouse workers.

Tartu — University City and Manufacturing Center

Tartu is Estonia’s second-largest city and a growing industrial center. The city’s manufacturing sector includes electronics assembly, food processing, and machinery production. We provide skilled workers for production facilities in and around Tartu, including machine operators, quality inspectors, assembly line workers, and warehouse staff. The construction sector in Tartu is also expanding, with new residential and commercial developments creating demand for construction workers, carpenters, and electricians.

Narva — Industrial Powerhouse

Narva is Estonia’s third-largest city and a major industrial center, particularly for energy production and heavy manufacturing. The city’s proximity to the Russian border creates unique workforce dynamics, and our multilingual capabilities (Estonian, Russian, English) are particularly valuable here. We supply workers for industrial plants, power facilities, and construction projects in the Narva and Ida-Viru county region. The ongoing industrial transformation and green energy transition are creating new opportunities and workforce demands.

Pärnu — Tourism and Seasonal Economy

Pärnu, known as Estonia’s summer capital, has significant seasonal workforce needs. Hotels, restaurants, and tourist facilities require additional staff during the high season (May-September), while the city’s year-round construction and manufacturing sectors need reliable workers throughout the year. We provide both seasonal and permanent workforce solutions for Pärnu and the surrounding Pärnu county.

Industries We Serve in Estonia

Construction

Estonia’s construction sector has seen sustained growth driven by both private and public investment. Major projects include residential housing in Tallinn’s suburbs, commercial real estate development, road and bridge construction, and renovation of historic buildings. We provide general construction laborers, concrete workers, carpenters, welders, demolition crews, site assistants, and construction cleanup teams. All our workers comply with Estonian occupational safety requirements and hold valid safety training certificates.

Logistics and Warehousing

Estonia’s strategic location on the Baltic Sea makes it an important logistics hub connecting Scandinavia, Russia, and the rest of Europe. The Port of Tallinn, Muuga cargo terminal, and numerous distribution centers throughout the country create steady demand for logistics professionals. We supply forklift operators, warehouse pickers and packers, goods receivers, shipping clerks, and distribution workers. Our logistics staff are experienced with modern WMS systems and can work in various warehouse environments including cold storage.

Manufacturing

Estonia has a growing manufacturing sector, particularly in electronics, machinery, food processing, and wood products. We provide machine operators, CNC operators, assembly workers, welders, quality inspectors, and production line supervisors. Our manufacturing workers understand lean production principles and can adapt quickly to new production environments.

Cleaning and Facility Management

We provide professional cleaning teams for commercial offices, shopping centers, industrial facilities, and construction sites throughout Estonia.
