Norway opens up thousands of job opportunities for Spanish speakers and offers higher salaries than many other European countries
Every year, thousands of professionals wonder how to improve their quality of life and grow in their careers. In 2025, Norway emerges as a magnet for those looking to make a change in their future. With a stable economy, salaries that double the European average, and a solid social system, the Scandinavian country announces over 15,100 vacancies that could transform the lives of many.
### A destination opening up to those seeking stability
Norway has built its reputation as one of the best places to live in Europe. This year, their commitment to attracting foreign talent is reinforced with thousands of job opportunities specifically tailored for Spanish speakers. The European platform EURES, along with the State Public Employment Service (SEPE), promotes these offers with the aim of connecting professionals with expanding Norwegian companies.
The available positions not only offer attractive salaries but also the possibility of permanent contracts and a social inclusion system that guarantees equal opportunities for all workers.
### Sectors in need of more hands
The diversity of vacancies reflects the dynamism of the Norwegian labor market. Among the areas with the highest demand are:
– **Construction and mechanics:** In regions like Nordland, both specialized carpenters and mechanics are sought after, even without previous experience. These jobs come with on-the-job training and competitive salaries.
– **Healthcare and caregiving:** The aging population creates a strong need for nursing assistants in elderly care facilities. Many of these contracts are permanent, offering stability and the opportunity to grow within the healthcare system.
– **Hospitality and tourism:** With a continually growing tourism industry, the demand for waiters and tour guides is on the rise. Professionals with proficiency in multiple languages can earn monthly incomes starting from 2,500 euros, depending on the season.
– **Education and legal advice:** The country also needs pre-school teachers with a good level of Norwegian and lawyers specializing in labor law for local advisory services, both with options for permanent contracts.
### Salaries and benefits exceeding expectations
In 2025, the average salary in Norway is around 5,620 euros per month, a figure that far surpasses countries in Southern Europe like Spain. This is complemented by a robust system of family leave, gender equality policies guaranteed by law, and flexible working hours that promote a balance between personal and professional life.
The Norwegian social security model is considered one of the strongest in the continent, providing protection for both the worker and their family. These benefits make emigrating to Norway not only a career decision but also a life project.
