Question Scaffolding Jobs in Middle East Are there any

Hi Guys

We all visited Saudi Arabia around two years ago, my inlaws lived out there at the time and we absolutely loved it.

Since then my hubby who is currently a scaffolding Supervisor/ Project Manager for a company who specialize in errecting scaffolding on electrical pylons, has been trying in vain to find vacancies in the Middle East we have posted his CV to absolutely tons of various agency's claiming they have lots of vacancies but so far have had no success we soo desperately wish to move out there we loved the culture and the country as a whole we thought it was brillant for us and our three children. Does anybody please have any suggestions that would help!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and for any help you may offer us.[/SIZE]

Project manager might make a few quid working in consultancy?

I hated Construction/Civil Engineering, too many arrogent tossers who had no idea what they where doing. They didn't need one more idiot to help so I left .

Actually that's my office hat , I had a plastic one with the company logo and one of those plastic name cards you hang around your neck for on-site stuff (I tried to avoid going on-site, aircon/heating is more appealing than the outside world often).

take rent and school out of the equation and then I personally thing it is cheaper here than the UK. Rent is the killer - a 2 bed apartment is now renting at 20,000 quid a year!!!
