10,000 highly-qualified workers needed for high-tech industries in Spain – Spanish-speaking telecoms and IT experts, get ready to pack your bags!

Spain is currently experiencing a shortage of experienced and highly-qualified workers in many high-tech fields, to the point where some commentators believe the country will need to bring in 10,000 immigrant workers to fill the employment gap. If you've got the relevant qualifications and have been working in your field for some time, the prospect of being able to continue your work in Spain may be all you need to induce you to consider relocating.

One thing to bear in mind is that you won't find the majority of available jobs on the costas. Madrid and Barcelona are the main two locations for this sort of employment, although other well-populated industrial centres such as the Basque Country will also offer employment opportunities. Wages are generally lower in Spain, but the cost of living is also less. Speaking Spanish will be a great advantage, and as fewer young Spaniards are studying for technical degrees, you can give yourself a year or two to learn the language, safe in the knowledge that the job market won't be flooded with recent graduates when you're ready to start looking for work.
