If you have planned a relocation to Dubai, the priority is to take care of the documents and proper vacancy. Electricians are always in demand, so if you have the qualifications, you can consider such a position. The careers of professionals can grow if they perform well in their work. However, still, you need to delve more into the details that are related to job search and preparation in general. We propose to talk about this further.
To get a job in Dubai, you need to have a visa. But among the benefits it is worth mentioning that you can look for a job while you are already in the country as a tourist. For 30-90 days you are free to stay in the country and, for example, look for accommodation.
Every employee must comply with labor laws. Accordingly, there are no exceptions. If you want to work as an electrician legally and get paid on time without any adventures, take care of preparing all the documents. To work, you need a work permit or Visa. In any case, you need to find out as much information as possible and listen to trusted sources. If you have specific questions about the documents, you can contact the local authorities. That is, to the UAE consulate or embassy. If you cannot cope with the preparation of documents on your own, consult a lawyer.
The requirements for an electrician can be talked about at length. These specialists should take into account the specifics of the country, because in Saudi Arabia the British system of plugs and sockets is relevant. That is, type G. You need to know all the local safety regulations and have experience. This is usually 2-3 years. You will also need an up-to-date trade license for employment.
To get a work visa for a job in the UAE, you need to prepare. Take the time to do this, as it is not a quick process. You can move on to projects only after your visa is ready, for which you will need the following documents:
passport;
completed application form;
work permit (original and copy);
4 photos of you;
a letter from your employer;
all relevant information that describes the job you are applying for.
You can even look at examples of ready-made visas on the internet. This will allow you to get an understanding of how it looks, although most people have already clashed with this document.
It is worth noting that we have listed the basic documents. In fact, you will need more, as some jobs require additional documents. For example, a health certificate. If you are going to work as an electrician, you will probably need more diplomas and certificates. These will prove that you are a skilled specialist.
This process can have many pitfalls. Everyone's experience is unique, so no one can guarantee where questions may arise. Many emigrants are particularly worried at the interview stage. They may be asked a variety of questions, but they are related to whether the professional plans to return to their country. If you assure the visa officer that you want to gain practical experience in Dubai, you can expect to increase the likelihood of getting a visa. In general, it is important to be step-by-step, responsible and not in a hurry. So do everything in advance and discuss all the details with your employer.
If you are planning to work abroad for the first time, more questions may arise. Once you have already passed this stage, it will be much easier. Plus, you'll gain valuable experience and be able to expand your resume. Be sure to include all achievements in the electrical field, but write strictly the truth. If you have undergone any useful training, please include that too. Employers look positively at employees who continually improve and continue to learn. Some HR specialists are very responsible when it comes to finding employees, so they may pay special attention to verifying information. Trust that they can find the data based on their experience, skills, and abilities.
Depending on the time you are looking for a job, the list of employers may change. Of course, the salary depends on the company, but this is not the only criterion to consider. If you are a valued employee, large firms may even take on the responsibility of sponsorship. That is, they can take care of your housing, transportation, and other important things. Usually, these features are specified in the vacancy to attract more valuable personnel. However, you can also specify them individually.
You can even find a list of the best electrical installation companies. Of course, the higher the rating of the firm, the more conditions and requirements. Accordingly, an employee should stand out among high competition and be a true professional. Let us list the top companies in the electrical installation segment:
AI Murjan Group.
White Arch.
LINK LIGHT.
AGD Electromechanic Ltd.
SAQER Electronical.
Elemec.
Of course, this is not a complete list, but each of these companies has many years of experience and a considerable staff. Among the young and promising ones we can single out AMPCORE - an electrical engineering company, which appeared in 2021. They offer a wide range of services. These include electrical load surveys, electrical maintenance, repairs, lighting control systems, and more.
It is worth noting that electricians are needed not only in electric companies. You can also find work in a construction company. In general, you can try yourself in any legitimate company that offers good conditions. If there is an opportunity to find out what it is like for other employees to work for the same company, it will be helpful. You will be able to draw valuable conclusions and figure out if these employers are a good fit for you early on. The more information you can get, the more time you will save in the end. On average, an electrician can expect to be paid $5,000 monthly. But again, salaries vary depending on many factors, so don't rush into choosing a job.
It is important not only to prepare physically, but also mentally. In addition to preparing documents, it is important to realize that you are going to another country. Accordingly, it has its own culture, rules and traditions that you need to adapt to and comply with.
Electricians must understand that they are taking responsibility for tasks. Moreover, this does not concern simple, but quality work. Dubai is a rather strict city in terms of laws, thanks to which there is such order, modernity and progress. Among the mandatory conditions is official employment. By signing the contract, you confirm that you will qualitatively and honestly fulfill all the conditions that have been prescribed. You will also need health insurance. You will receive more information during the preparation of the documents and all the processes.
The work culture here resembles the standard work culture. For example, in most cases, specialists have an 8-hour schedule 6 days a week. Some companies may not be open on Friday. Again, it all depends on the job you have chosen and the conditions you have agreed to. Therefore, before confirming your employment, make sure that you can handle everything.
Take time to adapt. Other cultures and traditions leave their mark, so expats may initially feel out of place. But over time, you will be able to see more and more advantages of Dubai and find new reasons to work here. A decent salary, a good attitude and the opportunity to continue to develop have a positive impact on a person’s condition. In any case, the choice is always yours, so submit your application if you are sure that you can start a new life.
