Hello to my fellow City-Data forum posters. I am curious as to what the job market is like in either Hamburg or Berlin for a transportation planner in the EUR 60,000 - 70,000 range with intermediate German language skills. I have worked as a senior level transportation planner in a ten-county region in rural central Virginia for five years and have project management experience in highway, pedestrian, and bicycle planning. I am also highly skilled in traffic modeling and forecasting programs (including Visum which is a German traffic forecasting software). I hold a BA in German, a BA in Geography, and an MA in Urban and Transportation Planning.

I studied German in college for four years and also studied abroad in Trier, Germany in 2006. Though my German is a bit rusty from little use over the past five years, I still speak enough to get by and know all the basics of German grammar and sentence structure to become fluent fairly quickly. My sister and her fiancé currently live and work Gütersloh, Germany so I have family already over there too.

My question is whether or not there are high paying positions for senior level transportation planners in Hamburg or Berlin with someone of my professional (advanced) and German language (intermediate) skill level? Are they looking to hire foreigners into these positions? I am 34 with no children or spouse. This is mainly just thinking about long-term relocation with no real commitments to leave immediately.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have!

-David
