In the last 2-3 years, the salary of car mechanics in Bulgaria has risen by over 50% and the average salary of an employee with experience is about BGN 5,000 per month, a check by “24 Hours” showed.
Even starting salaries for people without previous experience start at BGN 2,000 per month, almost as much as for doctors. Currently, a doctor with a completed specialty is employed in state and private hospitals with a monthly salary of about BGN 2,200. Reviews of job posting sites show that at the moment there is almost no service of authorized car dealers in Bulgaria that is not looking for mechatronics, as is the current name of this profession. There is
service stations which
offer a minimum
3000 BGN for
junior car mechanic,
and those who announce salaries of BGN 3,400.
Among the ads of a well-known claims service, there is even one for a car wash employee with a starting salary of BGN 1,800 per month.
However, certain requirements are indicated in the announcements. For example, there is no auto mechanic job that does not require a high level of computer literacy and experience using specialized diagnostic equipment and software.
The requirements for the repair of light trucks and trucks and specialized equipment are even higher. But there, too, starting salaries are from 3,500 BGN upwards, and probably with the passage of time and the accumulation of experience, they go to over 5 BGN per month.
According to people in the industry, one of the reasons for the apparent increase in wages in this field is quite a lot
the strong outflow of
employees abroad Even on Bulgarian websites there are advertisements for recruiting mechatronics for jobs in Germany and the Netherlands, where the same amounts are offered, but in euros.
