Hi All
I will keep this as short as can be.
We have been travelling to the UAE for 10 plus years now, and feel we are now in a position to do a relocation.
My wife has her own business which transfers with little to no fuss, so her income will remain stable.
I am currently a General Manager for a Industrial supplier - Bearings, motors, gearboxes, pumps, hydraulics - We supply into Oil & Gas, Food & Bev factories, mills and so fourth - Previous to this role I was a BDM for 10 years for the same company.
I did have a job signed and sealed then it got pulled due to complications with current staffing and the Ukraine conflict, which I was disappointed about.
We are fully aware of all the costings, from housing, schooling and so on. Thankfully we are in a good position where it is not a worry, but ideally I would like to have a position before burning through money being there for the sake of it if that makes sense.
Again I should say I am not boasting but I am just wanting to let any potential people who can help know we are in a good position - No mortgage as I paid it off last month, no debt, and can go at relatively short notice - Unfortunately my current company have no plans to go in the UAE direction.
I have been utilising Linkedin as much as I can, making some good connections, I have managed to get quite a good network in the UAE but nobody has a position available as of yet.
Would anyone on here be able to assist at all?
Thank you in advance.

Great news - huge congratulations!
OOI - how did this role come up in the end for you?
I know the company, the Engineering Company I used to run in Scotland, the company I work for now was a large supplier to us. I just used Linkedin to make contacts with them, made a point of visiting them everytime I was in Dubai, then I was told about the position and here we are .OOI - how did this role come up in the end for you?
Congratulations on the move — great to hear it all came together after three years of hunting. The engineering network route rings very true; from what I've seen most of the decent roles out here come through people rather than job boards. Best of luck with the villa hunt as well, that's an adventure in itself!
