If the recent good weather has left you thinking about a move abroad, a trip to the Energy, Mining & Engineering International Jobs Expo in Aberdeen next week could be worthwhile.
Employers from Australia and Canada are in urgent need of specialist staff and many companies are turning to Europe to get the people they are unable to find at home.
Organised by award-winning company Working In, the boutique Aberdeen expo targets workers in the energy and resources sectors.
Professionals from the energy industry in Scotland and Europe can check out the job opportunities in Australia and Canada.
Employers this year are in urgent need of skilled workers across the spectrum, with vacancies from exploration geologists to subsea, maritime, pipeline and petroleum engineers.
A highlight of the event will be the industry specific seminars providing an overview of some of the exciting new developments taking place in Australia and Canada.
Held every hour, on the hour, the employer-led seminars will bring visitors up to date with the latest technology and techniques, and point to where the best opportunities can be found.
Spencer Hawkes, Working In’s UK general manager, said: “In these days of a mobile global workforce, many energy workers know that they need to move abroad in order to work with the latest technologies and cutting-edge techniques.
“This is a great opportunity for energy workers to meet face to face with key Canadian, Australia and New Zealand employers, and land some of the best jobs in the industry.
“Let’s face it, the chance to take your skills abroad for brighter prospects and a bigger pay cheque is very appealing in the middle of a recession.”
The jobs expo takes place on Wednesday at the Hilton Aberdeen Treetops, Hotel, 161 Springfield Road, from 3pm to 8pm. Tickets are £17.50 and can be booked through www.opportunities-expo.com
