Construction job opportunities in the Middle East

The recent visit to Dublin of Khajeh Daloui, the Iranian government's deputy head of housing and construction, is another in a series of high profile initiatives aimed at attracting Irish contractors and construction professionals to take up construction jobs in the Middle East.

The fact that CIF's Director General Tom Parlon was also on hand to support the Iranian minister shows how important the Middle Eastern market is becoming to Irish building contractors looking to export their expertise.

In April Enterprise Ireland hosted the “Construction Opportunities in the Gulf States” seminar in Dublin where delegates heard high profile speakers from UAE and Saudi Arabia make presentations on construction product and services opportunities in the Middle East.

The Middle East now accounts for 30 per cent of all recruitment activity the goes through constructionjobs.ie. Construction professionals who have already taken up positions with firms in the region are finding themselves playing a key role in some of the world’s most exciting development schemes.
