Working in Denmark
Denmark pays the highest blue-collar wages in Europe and combines them with strict labour protections and a 37-hour standard work week. The Positive List work permit applies to most factory, warehouse and food-processing roles; processing usually runs 6 to 10 weeks. Cost of living is high in Copenhagen but moderate in Jutland (Aarhus, Aalborg, Esbjerg) where most plants operate; employer-provided housing offsets the difference. Smaller migrant communities than Germany or Poland, but English is widely spoken on the job and in daily life.
What this role looks like day-to-day
A typical shift involves hands-on production work alongside a small team, with clear daily targets set by a line supervisor. Breaks, equipment, uniforms and PPE are provided. This role fits workers who are physically fit, reliable on shift, and willing to learn the local processes during the initial 2-4 week training period.

Basic English (A2) — language courses available on-site

CHI Recruiting handles the employer-side application; the worker pays government fees (medical, embassy, document chain) which are disclosed transparently up front.

No prior experience is required for this position. Paid on-the-job training runs through your first 2-4 weeks at the plant, after which you operate independently with periodic supervision. Workers from any blue-collar background adapt smoothly.
Standard schedule is 40 hours per week with 30-45 minute paid lunch and two short breaks. Specifics are in the offer letter.
