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?

Danish manufacturing companies that sell their product internationally, often run their engineering documentation in English I.e. they don’t have problems having an English speaking employee.

Their production processes might also be in English if they e.g. also have production in eastern Europe.

Some people on the shop floor might have problems using English to describe technical production issues. This ability depend on age, and if they had been working with English in their job since they were young.

People younger than 60 have had English in primary school, but the quality of tuition might not be have been the best.

A 60 year old electrician, that have primarily been working on building installations might be lousy at technical English, where as a similar electrician working on industrial automation has to be good at it to do his job.
