Working in Sweden as a UK national

[lowegrenjoshua]

Hello to all - to save peoples time, I’ll keep it brief. 

 

I’m looking for some seasonal (or permanent) work in Sweden (as a climbing arborist)

 

If anybody has worked in Sweden, I would greatly appreciate some contacts I could enquire about employment. 

 

I’m coming onto 3 years experience in climbing and over 10 years experience in slinging/rigging

It's all pretty explanatory on their government website. Helps if your under 30 too.

I'm in Sweden but work in the sawmilling industry. I'm British, but also have a German passport, so I didn't have to deal with post-Brexit red tape.

@josharb87 would be my first port of call. He's worked extensively in arboriculture and would be able to offer good advice.

For general "moving to Sweden" stuff, I can help, though I live very rurally, so our situation is quite different to that of someone in a city.

How you doing on the work front now J ? Still in the sawmill or did that dry up.

Just started at the other large sawmill in the village this week as work had been a bit inconsistent at the first. But the first are desperate for me too now, so it seems I have two jobs! 

 

In the long term, I'm hoping to split my time between the two, but I am not sure that'll be optimal for everyone. We'll see.

Ask for a pay rise effectively has a value. Merry Christmas to you and your family Jonathan 💐

Hey, 

 

If you're looking for work in Sweden, there's a company in Stockholm called Jacksons Trädvård hiring (in English) who can help with work sponsorship and whatnot. I think it's run by an English fella, so he recognizes NPTC. I'm on the west coast, looking for work - I'll let you know what I find. Lycka till!
