Work / Is finding an engineering job in Poland difficult? Do I have to be fluent in Polish? [17]

Hey everybody. Just wondering if you can help me out. My fiancé and I are considering moving from Ireland to Polandat some point in the future. My fiancé is Polish so she wouldn't have any problems with the language or finding a job. I have basic/intermediate Polish and am a qualified Engineer with more than 5 years experience. Ideally we'd love to settle down around the Cracow area since her family is from there. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to find an engineering job in that area without completely fluent polish? Also, does anyone know what the average engineering salary is in Poland? Any information you could provide would be very helpful!

@PWEI: I was thinking that would be my biggest hurdle. My Polish is progressing fairly well but it's going to be quite a while before I'm satisfied with it. You think I would be better off waiting?

@pip: It's fairly broad to be honest. I've experience with mechanical engineering, project management and general research and development. I've heard that Krakow is more IT focused. Do you know if there are many general engineering companies in the region?
