Minimum hourly wage on building sites (from 15 June 2025)

On building sites in Norway a generally applicable collective agreement applies: skilled workers NOK 264.32/h, unskilled without industry experience NOK 239.61/h, unskilled with at least 1 year of industry experience NOK 249.00/h. This is a minimum, not a typical salary; rates are updated regularly – check the Labour Inspection Authority (Arbeidstilsynet). arbeidstilsynet.no

What to know before you go

• EU/EEA citizens do not need a work permit, but if the work in Norway lasts more than 3 months you must register with the police.
• Ask for a written employment contract before you travel and check the company in the Brønnøysund Register (brreg.no) by its organisation number.
• Never pay for a job offer or a “guaranteed” place – reliable employers do not ask for it.
• Check your pay: on building sites it cannot be lower than the minimum above.
