Engineer salary

Post by Acl1 » Thu Apr 09, 2009 11:20 am

Hello,
Could you tell me please what is an average salary for a junior engineer (in oil&gas or aerospace ind.) in Finland or Sweden or Norway?
Just to have an idea.
:) Thanks.

We do not pay 'junior engineers' here in the Nordic area... you get your first pay check when you are promoted to gopher.
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.

Just starting I would estimate about €2500 rising to €3500-4000 once you are experienced and pulling your weight... 8)





Obviously I'm not quite pulling my weight yet.. :ochesey: :lol: :lol: :lol:

good luck!
you wont earn much for the first 6 months as your qualificatins dont mean diddly squat in scandinava!
if you can weld there should be no problem to find a job.
even now in these hard times ,but its not easy to impress as you have to be able to understand what they are telling you to do as well as doing a good job.
