Your Gateway to Welder Jobs, Skilled Welding Hiring, and Industrial Recruitment in Denmark.
Looking for a specialist welder recruitment agency in Denmark? AtoZ Serwis Plus helps Danish offshore-wind fabricators, shipyards, marine-engineering firms, and construction contractors hire certified welders — MIG/MAG, TIG (WIG), coded, pipe, and structural — across Aalborg, Esbjerg, Frederikshavn, Odense, and Copenhagen.
Denmark is a global leader in wind energy and a high-wage, high-standard labour market built on collective agreements. Welders with EN ISO 9606-1 certification and offshore or shipbuilding experience are in strong demand and command premium rates.
The engine driving demand for welders is the green-energy and maritime cluster. Offshore-wind foundation and substation makers such as Bladt Industries in Aalborg, blade and component facilities including Siemens Gamesa, and the supply chains feeding projects like Thor and the North Sea Energy Island all need certified welders. Shipyards (Orskov Yard in Frederikshavn, Karstensens Skibsværft in Skagen), the marine engine maker MAN Energy Solutions, and construction add further demand. North Jutland and Esbjerg form the heart of this activity.
Denmark’s ageing workforce and the rapid scale-up of offshore wind mean local supply cannot keep pace, so employers recruit certified welders internationally for both fabrication halls and shipyards.
We focus on welding, so we understand the differences between a MIG/MAG welder for offshore wind structures, a TIG welder for stainless and aluminium, a coded welder for marine and pressure work, a pipe welder, and a senior welding foreman — and we screen accordingly.
You gain a pre-vetted, certified talent pool, faster time-to-hire, lower hiring risk through practical weld testing, lower total cost, and full compliance with Danish immigration schemes and collective-agreement pay standards. We also share offshore-wind and shipyard pay benchmarks.
We recruit MIG/MAG welders, TIG (WIG) welders, coded and pressure welders, pipe welders, offshore wind structural welders, shipyard and marine welders, sheet metal fabricators, maintenance welders, and welding supervisors. Services include permanent placement, contract and project hiring, bulk crew hiring for offshore fabrication and shipyards, executive search, screening, EN ISO 9606-1 verification, work-permit guidance, relocation and onboarding.
| Industry | Key Talent Needs |
|---|---|
| Offshore Wind & Renewables (Bladt Industries, Siemens Gamesa) | Structural welders, coded welders, and EN 1090 fabricators |
| Shipbuilding & Ship Repair (Orskov, Karstensens) | Hull welders, pipe welders, MMA/stick specialists |
| Marine & Heavy Engineering (MAN Energy Solutions) | Coded welders, pipe welders, maintenance welders |
| Construction & Infrastructure | Site welders, structural fabricators, MIG/MAG welders |
Denmark has no statutory minimum wage; pay is set by collective agreements, and it is among the highest in Europe. The figures below are indicative of monthly gross pay and vary by sector, certification, and experience.
| Role | Indicative Monthly Gross (DKK) | Approx. EUR |
|---|---|---|
| General / MIG-MAG welder | 28,000 – 34,000 | €3,750 – €4,560 |
| TIG / structural welder | 33,000 – 40,000 | €4,420 – €5,360 |
| Coded / offshore / shipyard welder | 38,000 – 50,000+ | €5,090 – €6,700+ |
| Welding foreman/supervisor | 45,000 – 58,000+ | €6,030 – €7,770+ |
Certified offshore-wind and shipyard welders sit at the top of these ranges. Permit eligibility depends on meeting Danish-standard pay or the relevant Pay Limit threshold.
EU/EEA and Swiss nationals are free to work. For third-country welders, the routes are administered by the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI). The Pay Limit Scheme grants a permit when the salary exceeds the set threshold (DKK 552,000 per year for the ordinary scheme, DKK 446,000 for the supplementary scheme from January 2026) — achievable for senior and offshore welders. The Fast-track Scheme lets certified employers process applications quickly. The Positive List for Skilled Work covers shortage trades. Still, welder eligibility has changed at recent six-monthly updates (welders were removed in January 2025), so the current list must always be checked at the time of application. Collective-agreement-based permits provide an additional route through which pay matches Danish standards.
We map your requirements and the right SIRI route, source through our certified-welder networks, screen and EN ISO 9606-1 verify candidates, run practical weld and coding tests, complete reference checks, guide the permit application and biometrics, and support relocation and onboarding.
We source certified welders from across the EU, the Western Balkans, India, the Philippines, and Vietnam, matching offshore wind and shipyard experience with Danish employers under the Pay Limit and Fast-track schemes.
Offshore wind is driving sustained demand for certified structural and coded welders in North Jutland and Esbjerg, with major projects scaling up from 2026. Pay Limit thresholds rose for 2026, and Positive List revisions twice a year mean employers must verify the current route for welders before applying, making expert, well-documented applications essential.
Quality comes from our focus on welding and certified candidate screening. Compliance comes from following Danish immigration schemes, SIRI procedures, and collective-agreement pay standards at every step. Partnership comes from serving as a long-term advisor to the welding workforce. Employers stay with us because we help them build stronger welding teams faster and with less risk.

EU/EEA and Swiss nationals are free to work. Third-country welders typically use the Pay Limit Scheme (salary above the set threshold), the Fast-track Scheme (via certified employers), the Positive List for Skilled Work (where the occupation is currently listed), or a collective-agreement-based permit, all administered by SIRI.
Welder eligibility on the Positive List for Skilled Work has changed at recent six-monthly updates — welders were removed in January 2025, while related trades such as blacksmiths were added. Because the list is revised every January and July, the current list must always be checked on the day of application.
From January 2026, the ordinary Pay Limit Scheme threshold is DKK 552,000 per year, with a supplementary scheme at DKK 446,000. Senior, coded, and offshore welders are most likely to meet these levels.
Denmark has no statutory minimum wage; pay follows collective agreements and is among Europe’s highest. Indicative monthly gross pay ranges from about DKK 28,000 for general welders to DKK 38,000–50,000+ for coded, offshore, and shipyard welders.
Employers expect EN ISO 9606-1 (or former EN 287-1) certification, with EN 1090 relevant to offshore wind structures and coding for marine and pressure work. We verify all certifications and run practical weld tests.
Aalborg and North Jutland (offshore wind fabrication), Esbjerg (offshore energy), and Frederikshavn and Skagen (shipyards) led demand, with additional work in Odense and Copenhagen.
The Fast-track Scheme allows certified Danish companies to obtain faster processing of work-and-residence permit applications, useful for large offshore-wind and shipbuilding employers scaling their welding teams.
Yes. We source certified welders from across the EU, the Western Balkans, India, the Philippines, and Vietnam, prioritising offshore-wind and shipyard experience.
No. All immigration decisions rest with the Danish authorities (SIRI) and hiring decisions with employers. We provide structured professional support, not guarantees.

Hiring the right welder is one of the most important decisions a Danish offshore wind fabricator, shipyard, marine engineering firm, or construction contractor will make. The right hire delivers sound welds, passes inspection, and keeps projects on schedule; the wrong hire fails weld tests, compromises safety, and drives up turnover costs.
