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 plumber jobs

Can I work on gas and water installations?

Yes, under your employer's licence and supervision. Being hired does not give you a personal Danish licence, but you do the same work as your Danish colleagues.

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 plumber 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.
