Default Moving to Dubai - Oil and Gas Sector

Hi

I come from Aberdeen, Scotland and am looking to move to Dubai in the new year

Currently, I work in oil and gas as a design draughtsman and have about 2 years experience in this field as I had previously studied Architecture at Uni and changed profession.

Is there anyone who could help me (point me in the right direction) with finding Recruitment Agencies in Dubai in the Oil and Gas Sector?

Are there any British Recruitment Agencies that have offices out there, which would maybe make it easier to get a start?

Help would be much appreciated

Cheers

Arab_don

Petrofac is a big company in Aberdeen - It's just the fact of walking into the Aberdeen office and asking for a job in Dubai - worth a shout though, will have a look at their website

they are employing all the time, bang your CV in there -nothing to lose. If you check the wiki at the top of this page all the recruitment agencies are listed on there. Also check www.gulfnews.com - employment section.

The P&J's pretty good for O&G jobs, will have to have a closer look, think it's every Friday for the job supplement.

Who is it you work for Bodach? - just out of interest

Hi Don,

Cheers

A large part of my work is Downhole Design - Designing wireline equipment (machines and tools) such as Logging Units/Skids/Trucks etc. So it would be that be the part of the O&G Sector I would be looking to get into.

Ideally though, I am pretty keen to get into ROV's in either designing, piloting.

Had a look though at a couple of companies you listed Boddach, very interesting.
