Chemical Engineering Jobs in Poland - Needing Orientation

Good Day All,

I am African,I have just relocated to Warsaw with my husband who is Italian and my 18 month little daughter coming from Italy. I am currently looking for a Job but i am not sure of how to apply for it or which company should i target . I have got a Degree in Chemical Engineering from a University of Technology in Cape Town where i am originally coming from; Furthermore I have got 4 years experience in Project and Hydraulic Design from my previous position in Cape Town ,South Africa. I have never got a chance to have experience in my field as Chemical Engineer and now i don't know what job will be suitable in my case since i have got a qualification in Chemical Engineering with no previous experience however I gained experience in Mechanical Design with no qualification.

Please advise accordingly.

I haven't been educated in the field of Chemical Engineering and have no actual knowledge of it - but in opinion it will be difficult for you to find a job in Chemical Engineering or any kind of Desing in Poland without a passable command of Polish - the jobs for speakers of foreign langauges including English are in the IT sector, in the international accountancy, also in the remote technical support and I guess also in call centres - there are a couple of pharmaceutical companies in Warsaw that you could try to contact, otherwise Warsaw is not really a centre of chemical industry at least not heavy chemical industry - but as I said chances that you secure a job in your fields of expertise are not big if you don't speak Polish reasonably well

Thank you so much for your prompt answer, i really appreciate it.

I would wait for other opinions though - there are people who have much more knowledge of the job market in professional fields in Poland here in this forum

Can't tell much in details about this field. But generally Warsaw is more a financial/media centre, not much industry over there... Besides, generally without speaking Polish, there are some opportunities but mostly related to IT/finance. You can go to pracuj.pl select Warszawa and look for offers in English, should be 15-20% of total, in many cases they still require fluent Polish but not always.

Some from the top pages:
pracuj.pl/praca/product-owner-warszawa,oferta,5796767
pracuj.pl/praca/hr-business-partner-payroll-administration-warszawa,oferta,5820751
pracuj.pl/praca/billing-trigger-specialist-warszawa,oferta,5793556
pracuj.pl/praca/junior-modelling-analyst-warszawa,oferta,5784080
pracuj.pl/praca/application-packaging-engineer-warszawa,oferta,5798530

Except senior positions, relevant edu/experience is not the must. For 9 out of 10 of CVs sent out, you won't hear a word from them, but that's a norm here. Besides, in Warsaw there are thousands of job openings all the time.

Great staff...at least i know where to start even though chances are little , i will give it a try.Thanks
