Moving Overseas for a new quantity surveying or construction job can be a confusing experience for many. Some QS, Project Managers, Estimators and the like will have visited the said location before accepting a job there, but many people have not visited at all, or have just had a all to brief holiday or two there. With this in mind, Lechley Associates has prepared a collection of various helpful links and references to try and help with the most common questions you may have about living and working in various locations. 

We take seriously the need for our job seekers to be well briefed on the working and social environments they will be exposed to, to ensure they are able to progress their application with us right through to many years of successful employment with the right overseas company.

“Due to the very nature of what is currently happening worldwide and the implications of the economic downturn finding a new role not only in the UK, the Middle East and elsewhere is very different to what we have experienced over the past  five years or so. The ability to act flexibly and be able to move quickly is the order of the day and this is why many of the descriptions listed on the website are brief. Many clients and jobseekers alike are finding it difficult to predict what the future holds, there is therefore a fair amount of positioning and second guessing going on. Many clients are thinking long and hard about current and future staffing levels, not only for their own benefit but for the staff that they currently employ. It is because of that we promise to do what we can in your search for new employment, we would ask of you that you provide us with as much information as possible and bear with us when it comes to getting answers from the clients concerned.”
