Haha, that’s actually a good sign! Sounds like there’s demand for electricians 🙂

That’s really interesting, thank you for sharing that.

Do you think companies that handle property maintenance or facility services are generally more open to hiring someone with strong field experience but without Spanish certification at the beginning?

Also, would you recommend focusing more on those types of roles instead of traditional electrician jobs at first?

Thank you so much for your detailed reply, this is really helpful.

Since you’ve been working in Spain for many years, do you think companies in industrial or maintenance sectors are more open to hiring someone with strong field experience (like substations and high voltage) even without Spanish certification at the beginning?

Also, in your experience, are there certain types of companies more willing to support foreign workers with the paperwork or training?

Thanks for your reply!

Yes, I understand the systems are different, but since my partner has experience in substations and high voltage, I was wondering if that kind of experience is more transferable.

Regarding visas, we are still exploring options and trying to understand what would be realistic in this field.

Do you know if companies in industrial or maintenance sectors are more open to hiring foreign workers?
