Question:

Heavy machinery operator jobs in Denmark?

I have a few questions about this. I have 13 years experience driving all kinds of things. I use backhoe, front end loader, forklift and large trucks with trailers.Is there a demand for people with my skills in Denmark?How much money could I expect to make?Do any of the vehicles I use require a special license in Denmark?

Answer:

I wonder why you don't check this and instead keep issuing questions on Yahoo answers for which you are likely to get incorrect info In less than a minute on google I could find the official immigration dept site in Denmark and the page on skilled migrants like what you are talking about (and which I informed you about in the last question) As you can see here www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/coming_to... it is a very clear concise site and it gives a link to exactly which occupations are considered as in demand www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/coming_to... and drivers (forklift or otherwise) are not on this list Also it clearly stipulates that you must already be earning a salary level of minimum DKK 463,050 per year which is approx 62,077. Therefore I think you can assess by yourself the chances of receiving a working visa.
Based on the terminology you used, I'm guessing that you're American. You'll need to be fluent in Metric, Danish, and have a Danish driver license to be considered for this type job. You will be against equally (or more) qualified drivers, and the employer must offer Danish jobs first to Danes, second to Nordic labour agreement citizens (SE, IS, NO, FI), third to qualifed EU citizens, then everyone else. Unless you have a very specialized skill in huge demand, I don't think you have much chance.
