Hello all, I am currently living and working in the UK in a EHS Management position in engineering, but would like to move back to the middle east at some point in the future, I have 4 years experience of Dubai but not in a H&S capacity. Are there any specific qualifications that would improve chances of gainful employment? Any local specific H&S issues study/learn that would help (local regs , legal stuff etc)? Current moral implications (workers welfare etc)? Job hunting/CV advice? Thanks!

Rees, You could always consider looking for HSE positions in Qatar. Due to the current planned Olympic games in 2024 there is a load of major capital projects in infrastructure upgrades inclusing rail, roads, heavy civil's and multi-storey construction. Your previous experience and contacts in the Middle East is bound to assist you making good connections at least. I would also consider embarking on an International NEBOSH certificate course if you do not already possess.........Hope this is of some help.
