Default Electrical project manager job wanted

Hi I am looking for a job in Dubai as either electrical project manager/Site manager. I have 14 years experience but do not have a degree or diploma, Does anyone have any idea where I could try as I just seem to be hitting brick walls. Would it be more beneficial coming over to Dubai and looking? Is it worth my while looking into health & safety courses? I am married with a 13 year old daughter.

Without a degree you may struggle to find something here... Which industry sector have you worked in? Construction? O&G? Capital Equipment?

Try BBT (Beresford Blake Thomas) in Uk - they will vet you and pass your details through to their Dubai office. They will then deal with you from there.
If you're flexible about Dubai/Abu Dhabi, you might have a better chance.

Good luck

Thanks, I would move to either Dubai or Abu Dhabi, Is there a better chance of me getting work if I looked into doing health and safety courses?

It's all about who you know here. A short trip might help after getting your CV passed around. I know a few people in your business and would be happy to pass your CV on to them....PM for my email.

FYI

I believe the OP may have decided on Australia. See THIS POST in the NZ forum.

Apologies if I'm mistaken MarkF.
