Well I am not feeling any women right now!

Surely it works the other way around too? That's why my chap is younger then me!

Oh dear, doesn't sound good. They're a good company but the HR dept leaves a little to be desired. Let me know if you are still interested though, we're recruiting like crazy at the moment.

EPC yes, this is my first experience of site though and it's already broadening my mind so the construction side of it should be excellent, although the 60 hour weeks may take their toll!!

I'm not an operator either - I'm an engineer for an engineering contractor called Foster Wheeler. We're building ENOC an expansion to their Jebel Ali refinery. I'm only here for 2 months initially but come January will be on-site for about 18 months.
Give Bernie my regards...

Speaking of rentals, someone last night said I should contact you re renting a 1 bed in the marina area? It wouldn't be until next year but I was thinking I'd look around a few places while I'm over here at the moment.

I'm going back to the UK next week but will be back from 19th Oct. Would it be possible to arrange some viewings?
