hi Science
Don't know what sort of job you are looking for, but without qualifications (ie degree) or experience, you are going to find it almost impossible to get a good job. And without a good salary, completely impossible to have a good lifestyle here...

I am a Health and safety Advisor Qualification's are NEBOSH National Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety, NEBOSH Specialist Diploma in Environmental Management, NEBOSH Fire Safety and Risk Management Certificate, NEBOSH Construction Certificate and 2 Year H&S advisory role in Rail/Construction related
Project's.

Hoping for a Health and Safety Advisory role in Dubai, Ideally in Construction however Oil and Gas industry also interest's me.

I believe my current qualification's are satisfactory to meet most Job's,

It's limited experience I am mostly concerned about.

From what Ive seen of construction sights here and in particular the number of fires I doubt they employ Health and Safety people

Dubai Dry Docks do. Do a search on them and see what they are offering. I know a few lads who have worked in their Safety Dept over the years.

Good Luck

Default Re: Experience for Dubai

with those qualifications you should be looking for a HSE Managers position. In the oil construction companies i have experience with, only the manager is a western expat and the advisors are lesser paid fella's (he says diplomatically)

pm me and i can give you a few contacts within the oil sector (construction sites)

i.e Drydocks, Lamprell, Jray Mcdermotts, etc etc
