Discussion
Unfortunately a friend of mine was made redundant today due to the company he works for moving their branch office away from the gulf. Just seeing if anyone has a role going for an experienced IT & project manager (also has a background in service management). I know he's going to be competing with an army of people from the sub-continent in this field, but he's a really good guy with a family here. Can forward on more details if there's anything going.
In the interests of give and take, if anyone knows of an experienced Estates Manager (focused on large scale commercial lease management) who is looking for a role covering Africa please let me know.

We can usually do with more Quantity Surveyors or (Construction based)Project Managers.
@TobyLaRohne - would you be open to discussing this? I'm a construction commercial manager here in the UK trying to get my foot into the Dubai market. As a general estimate, I'd say I carry out about 70-80% of the role of a QS in my day job....do you think there would be something suitable for me?Thanks

ok i'll play.
i've been a development / design engineer through much of my career, lately being responsible for all [liquid] fuel & infrastructure development, following the product from drawing board through manufacture through to onsite commissioning. reckon i want to move into a project engineering type role as i much prefer a mix of site and office work with the bias set towards the former. i also have experience as a process manager [manufacturing management] and because of the unique type of incompetence dispayed by junior management in the uae, am involved in pretty much everything required to get something designed, built and shipped - supplier selection, logistics, purchasing, finance etc.
looking for something in oil/gas/energy. willing to relocate, not bothered whether it's perm [office hrs] or contract [rotation]. would love a move to the US but location also unimportant if the money is right, send me to afghan if it means a foot in the door to the OG gravy train.

Not convinced I haven't just jumped out of a frying pan into a fire with my job change a few months ago, but if anyone is asked to attend an assessment centre/complete ability/personality tests etc, thats part of what I do (sorry!) and I'm happy to help with a bit of off-line prep, (as I doubt you'd have been briefed properly from what I've seen of internal recruitment/agencies over here..)
