Hi there everyone. I've done a search of the forums and couldn't find much info on construction project managers. What I'm curious about is any resources I'm not thinking of for my job search. I'm a Canadian born and educated civil engineer 27 years old with 4 years experience managing construction projects in the 2 to 15 million range and I'm looking at moving to the UAE.

I've contacted recruiter's and have looked on some of the more common job sites for positions and haven't gotten much response. I figured given I work in construction (and it's booming in dubai) and I've been a lead project manager on some larger projects I would have had more response. Are there other or better ways for professionals to find opportunities? Is 4 years experience a little light? Does the fact that I reside in Canada currently work against me? and one final question, what kind of salary expectations should I be looking at? My guess was 30,000 - 35,000 plus benefits (car allowance, accomidation allowance, etc.).

Just curious about your thoughts and opinions. Also of course if any one has any contacts in the industry I would be grateful if you would share them with me.
