SO's son is an electrician & fancies working in Dubai, however Google isn't being very friendly when looking for suitable agencies[1]. Don't suppose you've got any ideas/contacts? [1] Lots for 'electrical engineers', but virtually nothing for electricians (as in wiring buildings rather than machines). -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tiger 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250

Not sure yet - I'll let you know. -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tiger 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250
I've never been convinced that agencies really work for the 'hands on' sort of thing he's looking for. It might be worth his while just going over there and seeing what he can get by hitting the bars and clubs where people doing similar work go to socialise. It might also be worth him trying some of the big construction companies direct and trying to blag his way in straight through the front door. Once he's got a start they'll be reluctant to let him go if he's any good and a willingness to travel and work shit hours is always a good thing.
Not a bad plan. He's selling his flat atm[1] so should be able to afford to do that when it's gone. He's willing to do that alright. He spent 2 years working the night shift at T5 with a commute from Swindon every day.

Whilst I think what you've said is probably the best idea, the only thing to remember in Dubai, is that 99% of all the construction workers are lowly paid Indian immigrants who are treated like shit in general. Although I've not frequented any building sites in Dubai, I don't know what sort of skilled foreign workers would be required, if at all.
In addition to the list BGN gave, I'd look at www.bayt.com and www.michaelpage.com I've got a friend who lives there. I'll ask her to see if she knows anything. Have him send me his CV. Also, have a look at Nankeel and Emaar - the two biggest property developers. As Cab said, labour are slaves. A Westerner will want to be coming in at a supervisory level, so he should adjust his approach as necessary.
Thanks, I'll pass it on. -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tiger 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250
Thanks, I'll give him a shout later & chase him up. -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tiger 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250
