Hello.
I would be interested to hear anybody's views on what the job situation is lke in Dubai at the moment? Due to the current financial climate and the amount of redundancies happening at the minute I am thinking about moving over there.
I am a CDMC, but have NEBOSH Construction & TECH IOSH so if anyone knows of anything going on the H&S side, and could give me a mini tip off it would be appreciated :o)

Having been here for some 3+ years working on the biggest projects in the area for the largest developer,I have to say that it is enjoyable, however, if you are under the misapprehension that all is rosy please think again.
There are many people losing their jobs and it is an ongoing situation.
If you have a firm committment from a reputable organisation then go for it but remember there are no guarantees and you could come, incur considerable expense and very soon be redundant, at the end of the day it is your choice. gone are the days of high salaries and plentiful jobs, companies are now being more careful in who they select and hopefully this will raise the standards of safety professionals working here.

Fully agree with David. Don't even consider it unless you've got a watertight offer from a reputable employer before you go.
If you search on 'Dubai' on this forum you will find the same question has come up many, many times before with a lot of useful information having been posted previously.
Good luck.

Its very nice place to work, only one thing is that living cost is very high, even some companies do not pay as agreed in contract.

There are many positives and many negatives to working in Dubai, but unfortunately the job situation here is just the same as back in the UK at the moment.
Many projects are on hold or have been cancelled, and a lot of people here are losing their jobs.
As the other posters have said only consider it if you have a firm offer. However, bear in mind that even if you do get a firm offer with a company, the project(s) that you would be working on could be pulled at very short notice and if made redundant here, you may be forced to leave the country within 1 month because of the visa rules. Not good if you have moved family out here and paid rent up front in advance.

Posted By www.hsepeople.comwww.hsepeople.com is the first website of its kind. A Social Networking site aimed specifically at Health and Safety People in all industries world wide. In Health and Safety the sharing of Information, Lessons Learned and best practise is very important. [reference removed] brings everything safety together in one place and makes it very easy to communicate with other HSE Professionals, Agencies, Companies, Suppliers, Trainers and Consultants. Only 2 months old but with almost 1000 members and more joining every day, [reference removed] is a not for profit community site that aims to be a one stop shop for anyone working in HSE. On [reference removed] you can create a profile freely advertising your services and availability, Chat instantly with other members through the sites instant messenger or through the discussion forums. With hundreds of HSE jobs being listed from around the world on the RSS Feeds or from the many big agencies posting on the forums [reference removed] has more HSE Jobs than any other site on the Net. Create a blog and let other keep up to date with what you are doing. If it is of interest to the community post it to the site magazine. [reference removed] also gives members the ability to create and manage their own group specific to whatever topic they choose and many agencies are taking advantage of this feature to create jobs groups. If you are a HSE Trainer create an event and advertise course places. People can join your event and leave comments or ask questions. They can also view who else is attending your event and communicate with them. The business directory page is now live and we will constantly be adding to it. If you work, recruit, train or consult in Health and Safety then your business can benefit by being on display to hundreds of the [reference removed] who are likely to use your services. [reference removed] also allows members to upload safety videos and you can now download all the videos using the new Micro Feed option and watch them offline. Great for training purposes! In the very near future we will be launching the document library. This will give any member the ability to upload, search, browse and download Safety Presentations, Procedures, Lessons Learned, Risk Assessments, Checklists, Toolbox talks. In fact any document relating to safety. No longer will you need to re-invent the wheel every time a new challenge presents itself. The chances are some one before you will have done it and you will be able to find it on www.hsepeople.comThe site is proving a huge hit and I hope to welcome you there soon www.hsepeople.com
