Does anybody know anyone, or have pherhaps a relative working in saudi arabia?. My boyfriend would like to work in the construction industry, driving plant machinery, we just dont know how to go about it. all we know is that he would have to attend a course in the uk for driving plant machinery and gain a certificate/qualification, but where would we take it from there?. Can anybody help?, Thankyou

I lived in Riyadh for many years, like you say you will need certificates and possibly experience, however if you are a young couple, remember you will be leaving friends etc and routine, although the rewards can be great you will come back after a number of years better off and will soon catch up with friends they just seem to stay here

do you know any agencies or companies that he could try for that type of work?, thanks

I don't sorry, but look on the internet for work in Saudi and look what big companies are looking for. Its a lot harder these days for work in the middle east but you never now
