I’m considering a possible move from the USA to Norway. I’m a master electrician here in the US, and also an on site foreman on commercial construction jobs. I also have experience in service and maintenance of commercial buildings. I’m wondering what kind of jobs I would be able to get in a place like Norway, and how hard it would be to find employment. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

To be allowed to work in your field,I suggest you check out the website of NOKUT to see what you have to do in order to get your skills/education recognized here in Norway.

Visit their websites and read on which rules applies to you.
