Hello Darren.

Welcome to the forum!

In meantime, I invite you to read these articles on Work/Labor market in Norway.

The Jobs in Bergen section is at your disposal. Do not hesitate to post an advert there.

Good luck in your research,

Hi Darren, with your skill set I don't think you will find it too hard to get a job. There are lots of jobs that require forklift drivers etc.

You can check on Nav.no or Finn.no for current vacancies.... as Silver just said. I really should read all replies before typing!

Good luck with the move and job hunt!

Hallo.My name is Slavica,im from Macedonia.I like to move and live in Norway.I dont know how right it is that in some island its posible to work withot eu pasport,and vissa,only its need to work in that place 5 years?

Hi, is anyone here interested to work in the Philippines. We will be providing relocation package and travel assistance. Let me know by sending me a message at rowell.morales@logica.com Thanks a lot!

At an airport up in Northern Norway I once met a British worker who could only speak English and he had a job at the airport with one of the airlines, think freight handlinger or something - so his situation is similiar to yours.

Bergen is a good city. I think although you might need to learn Norwegian to be able to find a job, you might be able to find something like the person I told you about. There are Oil & Gas related English speaking positions in Western Norway as well, but these do not apply to you.

You mention that you want to "integrate" into the Norwegian way of life - I think you will find you might be far more outgoing than the locals in Bergen so you must take this slight difference in culture into consideration - and they love the nature.
Although it is good to be "like a Roman in Rome" , the people from Rome who settled in Brazil, America or Argentina would also have brought cultural traits with them so it is often a difficult issue - although England and Norway are both in Europe, life in England and life in Norway is quite different in many ways.

I can inform you that Bergen along with Stavanger are some of the less cold towns in Norway so you should be pleased with that! No one turns the heater off in winter in Norway, not day nor night.
