How to Apply to Egis Poland

About Egis Poland

Egis Poland is the Warsaw-anchored Polish subsidiary of Egis Group, a French engineering and consulting firm founded in 1973 that grew out of the Caisse des depots ecosystem and is now majority-owned by Tikehau Capital and Bpifrance. In Poland the firm employs roughly 1,200 people across Warsaw (its main office), Katowice, and project sites stretching from the Baltic coast to the Sudetes. The local entity, EGIS POLAND SP. Z O.O. (legal employer code PL03243PL on the careers system), serves as the central engineering hub for Egis activity in Central and Eastern Europe and runs work in rail, road, water, airport, and urban infrastructure consulting. A second related Polish entity, BLEZAT SP. Z O.O., appears alongside Egis Poland on the SmartRecruiters job board for certain transport assignments and reflects the group's pattern of consolidating heritage Polish engineering firms (the most prominent example being the 10X Engineering / Promost lineage) under the Egis umbrella. The Polish business is structured around the Egis Group taxonomy of business lines, especially Transportation (BL-11) and Energy and Sustainable Cities (BL-12). On the ground that translates into design and supervision contracts on the national highway program for GDDKiA (including the A1 and A2 corridors and the S-class express roads), engineering on Warsaw Metro Line 2 extensions and preparatory work for Line 3, port and waterways studies in Gdansk, and a heavy footprint on the CPK mega-project, the Centralny Port Komunikacyjny airport and high-speed rail hub planned for Baranow. Open Polish vacancies on the live SmartRecruiters board cluster around CPK and a project coded P246, almost all listed in Warsaw and Katowice. Roles tilt strongly toward licensed Polish civil engineers (inzynier budownictwa) with branza specialization in mostowa (bridges), drogowa (road), sanitarna, geotechnika, konstrukcyjna, and elektryczna; architects, geotechnical specialists, and electrical grid project managers also recur. The official working language is Polish, but English is required for international consortium work, deliverables for multilateral lenders, and coordination with Egis hubs in Paris and the Middle East. Workplace culture inherits the French parent's consulting style, more hierarchical and formal than typical Polish IT shops, with stronger emphasis on technical seniority, signed engineering responsibility, and works-council representation than on flashy perks or aggressive equity. Employee reviews on Glassdoor and GoWork describe Egis Poland as a stable consulting employer with respectable benefits, pay that is competitive for engineering consulting but below banking and pure-play IT, and a clear track for chartered engineers who want to stamp their name on visible national infrastructure.

Application Process

1
Open jobs
Open jobs.egis-group.com (the SmartRecruiters-powered group portal) or go directly to jobs.smartrecruiters.com/EgisGroup, then filter by Country = Poland and city Warsaw or Katowice. Polish-language job titles like 'Asystent Projektanta' or 'Projektant' are usually local Egis Poland hires; English-language titles like 'T&D Project Manager' often signal international or hybrid CPK roles.
2
Read the 'Wymagania' (requirements) and 'Mile widziane' (nice-to-have) sections
Read the 'Wymagania' (requirements) and 'Mile widziane' (nice-to-have) sections carefully. Egis Poland frequently lists specific Polish PE entitlements (uprawnienia budowlane do projektowania bez ograniczen) in branza mostowa, drogowa, sanitarna, konstrukcyjna, geotechniczna, or elektryczna. If the role demands uprawnienia and you do not yet hold them, apply only to junior 'Asystent' tracks.
3
Create one SmartRecruiters profile and reuse it for every Egis posting in the EU
Create one SmartRecruiters profile and reuse it for every Egis posting in the EU. The portal stores your CV, cover letter, GDPR (RODO) consent statements, and previous applications, and it is shared across all Egis Group entities so recruiters in Warsaw can see what you submitted in Paris or Bucharest.
4
Attach a Polish-language CV for Polish-listed roles and an English CV for intern
Attach a Polish-language CV for Polish-listed roles and an English CV for international project roles. Many candidates upload both as a single combined PDF with PL on top, EN on bottom. Include the standard RODO clause at the end of your CV ('Wyrazam zgode na przetwarzanie moich danych osobowych...') referencing the current GDPR text or recruitment will not be able to process you.
5
Expect a phone screen in Polish from a Warsaw-based recruiter (often within two
Expect a phone screen in Polish from a Warsaw-based recruiter (often within two weeks), followed by a technical interview with the project director or senior designer for the relevant branza, and then a final conversation that may include a French or international stakeholder by video. Total cycle commonly runs three to six weeks.
6
Prepare for a technical case or portfolio review
Prepare for a technical case or portfolio review. For designers: bring sample drawings, BIM models (Revit, Civil 3D, OpenRoads), or calculation excerpts. For project managers: walk through one GDDKiA, PKP PLK, or local-government contract end to end, including FIDIC contract type and how variations were handled.
7
If you are applying from outside Poland, flag work-permit status early
If you are applying from outside Poland, flag work-permit status early. Egis Poland sponsors EU Blue Cards for senior engineers but the process adds four to ten weeks; for non-EU candidates plan accordingly and ask the recruiter about voivodeship processing times for Mazowieckie or Slaskie.
8
After the offer, expect a written contract (umowa o prace for permanent staff, B
After the offer, expect a written contract (umowa o prace for permanent staff, B2B contracts only in narrow cases) referencing your job family code (for example FAM0048 Technical Engineering) and Oracle position. Salary is usually quoted as monthly gross (brutto) in PLN; ask explicitly about the annual bonus, project bonus, and benefits package (Multisport, private healthcare, life insurance) before signing.

Resume Tips for Egis Poland

recommended

Lead with your Polish PE entitlements

Lead with your Polish PE entitlements. Put 'Uprawnienia budowlane do projektowania bez ograniczen w specjalnosci [branza]' and the issuing izba (PIIB chamber) and number in the header or a 'Kwalifikacje' block at the top, not buried in Education. SmartRecruiters keyword search and human screeners both look for it first.

recommended

Use Polish role nouns from the actual job ads: Asystent Projektanta, Projektant,

Use Polish role nouns from the actual job ads: Asystent Projektanta, Projektant, Starszy Projektant, Kierownik Projektu, Inzynier Budowy, Inspektor Nadzoru. Mirror the gendered form when applying, but always include the masculine form too because that is what most ATS searches use.

recommended

Quantify the projects, not just the responsibilities

Quantify the projects, not just the responsibilities. State the contract value in PLN or EUR, the GDDKiA / PKP PLK / municipality client, the FIDIC contract book color (Red, Yellow, Silver), the kilometers of road, the number of bridge spans, or the cubic metres of earthworks. Egis hires by reference projects, and reviewers will scan for this.

recommended

List CAD and BIM tools by version: AutoCAD 2024, Civil 3D, Bentley OpenRoads / O

List CAD and BIM tools by version: AutoCAD 2024, Civil 3D, Bentley OpenRoads / OpenBridge, Revit, Tekla, Plaxis, Robot Structural Analysis, MIDAS Civil, SAP2000. Put them in a dedicated 'Narzedzia' or 'Tools' section so the SmartRecruiters semantic search can pick them up.

recommended

Translate certifications carefully

Translate certifications carefully. PRINCE2, IPMA Level C/D, AGILE PM, FIDIC modules, ENAA, and IRSE certifications are recognized across Egis. If you hold the British CEng, US PE, or French INGE diploma, list both the foreign credential and how it maps to the Polish system.

recommended

Be explicit about language levels using CEFR codes (Polski C2, English C1, Franc

Be explicit about language levels using CEFR codes (Polski C2, English C1, Francais B2). Egis bids in French on certain group accounts, and even passive French is a tiebreaker for senior consulting roles.

recommended

Include a one-line GDPR / RODO consent clause at the bottom of every CV, dated

Include a one-line GDPR / RODO consent clause at the bottom of every CV, dated. Without it, Egis Poland recruiters often cannot move your file forward without writing back to ask. The standard text references RODO art. 6 ust. 1 lit. a.

recommended

Keep the document to two pages for non-management hires and three pages maximum

Keep the document to two pages for non-management hires and three pages maximum for senior project directors. Use a clean single-column layout, no photo unless the role explicitly invites one, PDF format, file name 'Nazwisko_Imie_CV_PL.pdf'.

ATS System: SmartRecruiters

Egis Group runs all global hiring, including Egis Poland, on SmartRecruiters under the company identifier 'EgisGroup'. The candidate-facing portal at jobs.egis-group.com is a SmartRecruiters white-label embed, and the canonical job board is jobs.smartrecruiters.com/EgisGroup. The system stores one candidate profile per email across every Egis entity worldwide, which means a previous application in France, Romania, or the Middle East is visible to the Warsaw recruiting team. Each posting is tagged with a legal employer code (Egis Poland is PL03243PL), an Oracle Position number, a business line (BL-11 Transportation, BL-12 Energy and Sustainable Cities, etc.), a service line, a project name (for example CPK or P246), and a region (REG02 Europe and Africa). Recruiters search and shortlist using these structured tags plus full-text matches on your CV.

Apply through the official jobs.egis-group.com or jobs.smartrecruiters.com/EgisGroup URL, not an aggregator like Pracuj.pl or LinkedIn Easy Apply. Aggregator submissions can lose the rich custom-field metadata that SmartRecruiters needs to route you to the right Polish project team.
Upload a single, well-tagged PDF CV. SmartRecruiters parses PDFs reliably; avoid Word with embedded images or scanned PDFs because the parser will drop key fields like your uprawnienia number.
Fill out every custom field SmartRecruiters offers, especially Country, City, and 'Earliest Start Date'. Polish recruiters filter aggressively on availability for project mobilization windows.
Attach a separate cover letter (list motywacyjny) for senior roles only. For junior 'Asystent' positions a single CV is the local norm.
Track your application status in the SmartRecruiters 'My Applications' panel; status changes from 'Submitted' to 'In Review' typically within ten working days. Silence beyond three weeks usually means the role was filled internally.
Decline recruiter calls in Polish only if you are genuinely fluent; otherwise ask politely to switch to English. Egis recruiters are used to bilingual screens, especially for CPK-related international hires.

Interview Culture

Interviews at Egis Poland are conducted in a French-influenced consulting register: formal, technically dense, and respectful of professional titles.

Expect to be addressed as Pan or Pani inzynier and to address senior staff the same way until invited to switch. The first conversation is almost always a screening call in Polish with the in-house recruiter (often based in the Warsaw office at Domaniewska or near Plac Europejski) covering motivation, salary expectations in PLN brutto, notice period, and your relationship to the listed branza. The second round is a substantive technical interview lasting sixty to ninety minutes with the directing engineer or project director. For designer roles this means walking through your portfolio drawing by drawing, defending design choices on bridge spans, drainage solutions, geotechnical assumptions, or signaling systems, and answering Polish-code questions (Eurokody, rozporzadzenia ministra infrastruktury). For project managers expect FIDIC scenarios, contract dispute role-plays, and questions about your relationship with GDDKiA, PKP PLK, or municipal clients. Senior or international roles include a third round with a French or English stakeholder by video, often the business-line director from Paris or a regional head; this is more behavioral and worthiness-focused, probing your fit with the Egis Group technical doctrine and willingness to travel for site supervision. Cultural cues that matter: arrive precisely on time, bring a printed CV, do not oversell soft skills, do quote concrete reference projects with names, and be candid about what you cannot do. Egis values long careers and rewards engineers who project a sense of stewardship over their specialization rather than the startup-style ambition that scores well at Polish IT firms.

What Egis Poland Looks For

A licensed civil engineering background (inzynier budownictwa with uprawnienia budowlane in a specific branza) or an architecture diploma from a recognized Polish or EU technical university such as Politechnika Warszawska, Krakowska, Slaska, or Wroclawska.
Demonstrable hands-on work on Polish public infrastructure: GDDKiA highway and S-road contracts, PKP PLK rail modernization, Warsaw Metro, regional airports, port works in Gdansk or Gdynia, water and wastewater under wojewodzkie zarzady melioracji, or CPK preparatory studies.
Fluency in industry tools: AutoCAD Civil 3D, Bentley OpenRoads / OpenBridge / OpenRail, Revit, Tekla, Plaxis, Robot Structural Analysis, MIDAS Civil, SAP2000; for transport modelers also PTV Visum or Aimsun.
Working knowledge of FIDIC contract conditions (Red, Yellow, Silver), Polish public procurement law (Prawo zamowien publicznych), and EU funding rules (FENIKS, NextGenerationEU, KPO) because these shape almost every contract Egis Poland signs.
Bilingual operating ability: Polish C1 or higher for delivery work, English at minimum B2 for group coordination; French is a strong differentiator for senior or group-coordination roles.
Long-horizon temperament. Infrastructure projects at Egis run five to fifteen years. Candidates who have stayed three or more years at one previous engineering consultancy or design office consistently outperform job-hoppers in interviews.
Site-supervision willingness for delivery roles. Many positions involve weeks at the construction site (CPK Baranow, A1 segments, metro tunnels) rather than full-time office work; flag your appetite for travel honestly.
Professional ethics and discretion. Egis is bound by group ethics and CSR codes (Egis Foundation, anti-corruption pledges) and by Polish izba inzynierow professional duties; visible ethics violations or undisclosed conflicts will sink an offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I find official Egis Poland job openings?

Use the SmartRecruiters-powered group careers portal at jobs.egis-group.com or go directly to jobs.smartrecruiters.com/EgisGroup and filter by Country = Poland. Both URLs surface the same set of postings, and as of mid-April 2026 the live Poland board lists about 3+ open roles, mostly in Warsaw and Katowice. Local job boards like Pracuj.pl and LinkedIn often mirror the same roles, but applying directly through SmartRecruiters preserves the structured metadata (legal employer, business line, project name) that the Warsaw recruiting team uses to route candidates.

What ATS does Egis Poland use, and does it parse my CV?

Egis runs SmartRecruiters globally under the company identifier 'EgisGroup'. SmartRecruiters parses standard PDF and Word CVs reliably and extracts name, contact, employment history, education, and skills into searchable fields. It performs less well with two-column layouts, scanned PDFs, embedded images, and Word documents that mix text boxes and tables. Submit a single-column PDF, name files in 'Lastname_Firstname_CV.pdf' format, and verify the parsed preview before clicking Submit.

Do I need Polish PE entitlements (uprawnienia budowlane) to be hired?

For the title 'Projektant' or any role with sign-off responsibility on Polish design documentation, yes. Egis Poland requires uprawnienia budowlane do projektowania (or do kierowania robotami budowlanymi for site roles) in the relevant branza, registered with the Polska Izba Inzynierow Budownictwa (PIIB). For 'Asystent Projektanta' and 'Inzynier' tracks aimed at recent graduates, uprawnienia are not required but a clear plan to obtain them within two to four years is expected and Egis will support the practical training (praktyka zawodowa).

Is English enough or do I really need Polish?

For Egis Poland delivery roles you need Polish at C1 or higher because contracts, design narratives, internal QA documents, and most client meetings (GDDKiA, PKP PLK, voivodeship offices, ZTM Warsaw) run in Polish. There are a small number of English-only roles tied to international consortia, CPK technical advisor work, and group functions; those typically have explicit titles like 'T&D Project Manager' on the SmartRecruiters board. If your Polish is below B2, focus your applications on those English-tagged listings.

What does the interview process look like end to end?

Expect three rounds. Round one is a 30-to-45-minute Polish-language phone or video screen with a Warsaw-based recruiter covering motivation, expected salary, notice period, and basic technical fit. Round two is a 60-to-90-minute deep technical interview with the project director or senior designer, often with a portfolio review for designers and a FIDIC scenario for project managers. Round three (for senior or international roles) is a video conversation with a French or English stakeholder from the relevant business line. The full process commonly takes three to six weeks; senior CPK roles can stretch to eight.

What are realistic salary ranges for Egis Poland in 2026?

Egis Poland does not publish bands, and salaries vary by branza, seniority, and project. As a rough public-source benchmark, junior 'Asystent Projektanta' roles in Warsaw typically land in the range of about 6,000 to 9,000 PLN gross per month, mid-level 'Projektant' or 'Inzynier' roles around 10,000 to 16,000 PLN, senior 'Kierownik Projektu' or 'Project Manager' roles 18,000 to 28,000 PLN, and senior expert or director-level positions higher again. These are estimates from Polish recruiting market reports and Glassdoor self-reports, not Egis-published data; confirm during your offer call.

Does Egis Poland sponsor work permits and EU Blue Cards?

Yes for senior or hard-to-fill engineering roles. Egis Poland routinely sponsors EU Blue Cards for non-EU engineers, particularly in bridges, tunneling, geotechnics, and rail signaling. The process runs through the Mazowiecki Urzad Wojewodzki (Mazowieckie Voivodeship Office) for Warsaw-based hires and typically adds four to ten weeks to the start date. Junior 'Asystent' roles are usually filled from the local market and are less likely to attract sponsorship. Raise visa status in your first conversation so the recruiter can plan accordingly.

What kinds of projects will I actually work on?

Currently dominant assignments include CPK (Centralny Port Komunikacyjny, the new central airport and high-speed rail hub near Baranow), the GDDKiA national highway program (A1 widening, S-class express roads), Warsaw Metro Line 2 extensions and Line 3 preparatory work, port and waterways studies in Gdansk, energy infrastructure under business line BL-12, and a project coded P246 visible on the live job board. Egis also bids on water, urban mobility, and architectural assignments through service lines tagged 11-SLI (inter-urban transport), 11-SLS (structures), and 12-ACR (architecture).

What are the office locations and is remote work possible?

The main office is in Warsaw (Mazowieckie Voivodeship). Katowice (Slaskie Voivodeship) is the other recurring posting location and supports southern Polish projects. Smaller project offices and site presences exist near major contracts. Remote work is available on a hybrid basis (typically 2 to 3 days in office) for design and management roles, but fully remote arrangements are uncommon at Egis Poland because the consulting model relies on in-person review of drawings, contracts, and client meetings. Site roles require on-site presence at the construction location.

How does Egis Poland compare to working for a Polish IT or banking employer?

Honestly: pay is lower than mBank, ING Hubs, Allegro, or top product-IT shops, perks are more modest, and the office culture is more formal and hierarchical because of the French parent. The trade is the work itself. You sign your name on Polish national infrastructure with a 30-to-50-year lifespan, you build a portfolio that travels across the entire Egis Group (Paris, Bucharest, Dubai, Singapore), and you get a stable consulting career path tied to engineering chartership rather than equity refreshes. Engineers who care about civic durability tend to prefer it; those who optimize for cash compensation and casual culture often do not.
