Article: Top English Jobs in Denmark's Leading Companies
Hey there, traveler! If you're a non-Danish speaker eyeing job opportunities in the Danish land, then here's a handy guide for you. It's the multinational giants that often cater to your language needs, offering jobs sans the Danish lingo.
Wondering where to start your job hunt? Check out jobsinenglish.dk. This jobs website scours job postings by Danish employers for positions that require only English, even though some of the biggies like Novo Nordisk, Maersk, and Lego aren't currently picked up by the system. Here's a rundown of the employers offering the most English-language jobs in 2024.
DTU, Danmarks Tekniske Universitet claimed the top spot with 244 jobs, mainly for researchers and lecturers with an advanced degree in engineering or a related subject.
Grundfos, a renowned world leader in water solutions, took the second spot with 112 jobs, focusing primarily on people with an engineering background.
MAN Energy Solutions ranked third with 92 jobs, producing engines for container vessels, bulk carriers, and oil tankers. Again, you'd need an engineering background even for a sales role.
Terma, headquartered in Aarhus, produced advanced radar and avionics solutions for the F-35 fighter jet. Most jobs on offer require advanced engineering knowledge.
Topsoe, a chemical and catalyst company, is currently focused on green initiatives. These jobs, too, are likely to be high-skilled.
The remaining spots were filled by the likes of Ørsted, Vestas, Rockwool, Beumer, ABB, Salling Group, Bestseller, and JYSK, among others. The retail industry had fewer representation, but their English-speaking jobs seemed to be focused on IT roles.
Now, these companies specialize in engineering, electronics, or chemicals, meaning they require quite a high skill level. Some fresh insights from our research: if you're into the renewable energy sector, Dantax A/S and Nilfisk are locals to watch. Furthermore, Copenhagen boasts a thriving biotech startup scene, with players like MinervaX, IO Biotech, and Muna Therapeutics requiring engineering-adjacent roles in biomedical devices and process engineering.
Happy hunting! Don't hesitate to reach out to us at news@our website if you have any questions or suggestions.
