How it works

How it works – four steps.

You take our online test and an interview in English, and if you need a work permit, we help with the application. SIRI decides on the permit.

1Step 1

Application

You send your diploma, experience and English level. We reply within 5 working days.

2Step 2

Test and interview

You take our online test. If you pass, we invite you to a structured video interview in English about your trade and experience. A trade diploma is required.

3Step 3

Employer and permit

If a Danish employer wants to hire you, you meet them on video, and they hire you directly. If you are not an EU/EEA citizen, you need a Danish work permit before you start. We help with the application. How long it takes depends on the permit and on SIRI's processing time. We cannot promise a start date.

FAQ

Questions about electrician jobs

Do I need a Danish electrical licence?

No. The licence belongs to the company, and you work under it like Danish electricians do. The employer decides which tasks suit you, based on your training and experience.

What will I earn?

Your pay is agreed with the employer and stated in your contract. If you need a work permit, it must be at the normal Danish level for the job. We cannot give you a figure before an employer makes you an offer.

Do I have to pay anything?

No. Nordic Skilled never charges workers. We are paid by the Danish employer. Anyone asking you for money is not working with us.

How soon can a electrician start?

It depends on whether a Danish employer chooses to hire you after you have passed our test and interview, and on which permit you need. We cannot promise a job or a start date.
