Best route to work in dubai!
Hello
Im new here so break me in gently!
Right I'm 23 single UK born and educated. Im just starting my last year of a HNC in Building services engineering im already a student member of CIBSE and should be Incorporated at the end of this course (fingers crossed!) I currently work within the MOD network and have done for 3 years in project management (site engineer level) mostly between £5 and £10 million builds and managing my own jobs up to £250K im very ofay with cdm, H&S and ive got a good all round understanding of my trade!
Right that's my background, I would like to live and work in dubai on completion of my HNC but all the jobs i find on career search engines are on a very senior level, Are there vacancies for people like myself?
If so, Where can i find jobs suitable to my background and career level, and what sort of money/job packages can i acheive?
I also have the option of carrying on my studies to a bachelorete degree level, would i be better of doing that and building up a couple more years of experiance? if so would it be more beneficial to gain some years working in a more commercial environment?
Bit of an essay and for that my apologies but some positive input would be most helpfull!
Cheers

Re: Best route to work in dubai!
hiya and welcome, take a look at the 'looking for a job' thread, I will bump it up to the top now, list of all agencies there. Apparently there is a magazine in the UK for Construction workers that alot of companies out here advertise in but I am not sure of the name of it.

I would say do the extra and get the bachelors... degrees are worth a lot more down the line... but commercial experience can only help as you're then working to make money which is experience that is invaluable when moving to dubai

Re: Best route to work in dubai!
get the degree....it's not a cheap place in DXB, and without it or the experience, you won't be getting anything too senior, so what's the point in being poor in another country?
