Cheers

Hi, have you made the move over yet? If so how have you found it.. We moved here 6 months ago, for my work. My hubbie is an electrician and struggling to get a foot in the door, so I'd be interested to hear how you're getting on

Hi
Yes i moved here last saturday. First week has been excellent love the place. My wife and little boy who is 2 are moving over on 11th october. Has your hubby had no luck, the only way i got over here was i was recommended by a friend who was good friends with a big employer over here. How long has your hubby been a electrician for.

Hiya, glad your first week over has gone well . How's the house hunting going?

Nope, hubbies had no luck at all, it's definitely who you know over here, and even with the contacts I'm making through work, there's been nothing. He's been an electrician all his working life, 20+ years now! got experience of electrics, alarms, CCTv, fire systems etc. but just not getting any response from anyone.

Lowans,

Hope you are enjoying the Cayman Islands so far!
I am from the US and have been reading about working and living in the Cayman Islands and would love to hear your experience so far.
I have been reaching out to a few electrical contractors down there to get a good glimpse into the work picture. I have a lot of experience in solar over the past few years and GC is a GREAT place for solar, thanks to the length of daily sunlight.
What kind of projects are you working on?

Thanks in advance!
