Hi. Do you think I could get a job in mechanical engineering in Denmark? I'm also interested in design and production. Unfortunately, I only speak English and my mother tongue. I'm willing to learn Danish as well. I've been to Denmark several times and I really like the country.
I'm a mechanical engineer with a BSc degree from the EU, specialising in manufacturing engineering and machining technologies. I have 2 years experience as a design engineer (formula student) and 1 year experience as a design engineer (part time). I also have 1 year manufacturing engineering experience (full time).
If it's possible to get an English-speaking job, which companies or roles should I look for?

kjxd3hvI think one major issue is that a lot of the colleagues on the floor might not be speaking English. Same for electricians, carpenters, equipment installation techs, etc.
So you'd struggle with jobs that involve those. I see this first hand from time to time - and often end up translating failed messages.
I'd start applying for jobs that involve sitting in an office doing technical drawings or calculations, or maybe jobs involving compliance to international standards.
With mechanical degrees, 80% of typical jobs are hard to possess until you have some communication skills in the local language.
