Strategy for getting an engineering job in the GCC with less experienced persons 

1. Gain specialized skills and certifications
As competition for entry-level roles is high, distinguishing yourself with specialized, in-demand skills is crucial. 
  • Targeted certifications: Take short-term online or in-person courses to build competency in areas that are valued in the GCC's construction and engineering markets.
    • Civil engineering: Focus on quantity surveying, estimation, billing, and contracts management.
    • Mechanical engineering: Consider certifications related to specific machinery, quality assurance, or cost control.
  • Professional certifications: Earning professional credentials like the Project Management Professional (PMP) or membership in a professional body like the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) can significantly boost your application. 
2. Leverage GCC-specific job portals
Focus your job search on platforms that cater specifically to the Gulf region. This is more effective than relying on general international job sites.
  • Key websites:Create and maintain a strong profile on major Gulf job boards:
    • Bayt.com
    • GulfTalent
    • Naukri Gulf
  • Set job alerts:Set up email alerts for "Fresher Engineer," "Entry Level Engineer," or "Junior Engineer" jobs to be notified of new openings. 
3. Network and build connections
Networking is one of the most effective ways to find an engineering job in the GCC, as many openings are filled through referrals. 
  • Professional networking: Connect with recruiters and industry professionals on LinkedIn. Engage with posts and join groups related to engineering in your target country, such as "Civil Engineers Dubai".
  • Tap your existing network: Reach out to friends, family, and university alumni who are already working in the GCC. A referral from a trusted employee is highly valued by many companies. 
4. Research your target country and tailor your applications
Different GCC countries have different demands and visa requirements.
  • Choose your location: Research where major projects are taking place. Saudi Arabia, for instance, has a high demand for engineers due to its Vision 2030 megaprojects.
  • Customize your CV: A generic CV will not be as effective. Use keywords from the job description and highlight the skills and achievements most relevant to the Gulf market, such as your proficiency with specific software (e.g., AutoCAD) or exposure to relevant projects. 
5. Consider traineeships and local experience
For fresh graduates, gaining an initial foothold through training or local experience can be a valuable stepping stone.
  • Corporate trainee programs: Some large international firms and national companies like Emirates and Baker Hughes offer "Early Career Trainee" programs for fresh graduates.
  • Gain experience locally: It can be very difficult for a completely inexperienced engineer to secure a GCC work visa. Consider gaining 1–2 years of experience in your home country first to improve your marketability. You could also look for jobs with multinational companies in your home country that have contracts in the GCC, as this could open a pathway to an internal transfer.
