Abu Dhabi?

[Mattt]

Any PHers work there?

[Mattt]

Guess that's a no then! I may well be joining the Middle East PHers soon, AD based but travelling offshore as & when reqd.

[oilydan]

I'm office based in AD, who are you working for and what are you doing?

[Mattt]

Will be an internal transfer from my current firm, working as a QS. I've got a meeting in the next couple of weeks to discuss terms.

Hi Mattt!

I spent many a year in Abu Dhabi, my dad is currently at Habshan. If you need to know anything, let me know. The old man was at Das back in the early days.

[Mattt]

Thanks Bob, I'll drop you a mail when i know more

Make sure the terms include:

1) Villa, paid for by the company in full.
2) Utilities paid for by the company in full
3) Car or car allowance

It's not as cheap as it used to be!!

[Mattt]

1 & 2 are fine.

3 - they employ drivers, which should be fine Mon-Fri but not sure about weekends. I'm off to discuss terms this week so will find out

Like Oily, I too am work based in Abu Dhabi but live in Dubai.

Which QS Company?

[Mattt]

Working for a contractor, don't want to say which though.

[yorky500]

Make sure you find out if the Project is secure. Way too many being put on hold/pushed back till a later date.

[Mattt]

Well, subject to a few final bits and pieces - I'll be out in the new year!
