Contract work in Asia and beyond

[bbailey]

I wonder if anyone has any information on companies job-sites and so on relating to contract work either world wide or ideally in Asia.

I am most interested in oil companies and a like.

I am qualified electrician with both industrial, domestic and street works experience.

I am currently located in south East Asia and view traveling to a site as no problem providing the wages are there.

I really would appreciate any pointers

Work on army bases is dangerous buddy. That and I think there was a problem with payment.

Thanks for the heads up but I am not that keen on being shot and even less keen about not getting paid

Physical Requirements:
� Living and working conditions at the assignment location could be remote and uncomfortable.
� Long hours, exposure to weather and hazardous conditions.
� Personnel should be aware of moving on short notice and under adverse conditions. STUFF that
