Working In Construction Jobs Overseas
Accommodation: What sort of accommodation do you require? Will your family be joining you? Where do you want to live? Your accommodation may not always be provided by your employer so it"s worth researching a little about where you"re moving. You should assess any offer of employment in the context of local currency, potential costs of living and the kind of environment you are prepared to live in.Medical Insurance: Does your employer provide this? If so, what are the specifics of their policy? It"s worth checking to make sure that repatriation in case required medical treatment is unavailable or that other features, such as cover for your family, are included in case you need them.
Termination clause: If you lose your employment overseas it can be much more disruptive than when you"re in your home country -particularly if your employer provides your accommodation or potentially depending on the terms of your work visa. Make sure you"re clear on the exact circumstances from both your perspective and that of your employers.
Leave entitlement: What arrangements do you want - and what arrangements are offered in your contract? You should make sure that you know, ensuring that you can accommodate travel time and the need to visit family at home.
Travel: What provisions has your employer made for your travel? Do you have the right documentation before you go? Does your offer cover the costs of moving your family as well?
