Construction and Engineering jobs in Dubai - Hiring gap widens. Construction projects continue to rise throughout the UAE. As these projects grow in popularity, hiring workers for construction and engineering jobs continues to be a priority for construction companies.
With the boom in construction and engineering jobs in Dubai many 
indians and western expats are on their way to Dubai to cash in on the large ammount of jobs available in Dubai's construction and engineering industry.
The
world has been watching India as media reports state it to be the one
of the next economic super powers and as a consequence property
development has surged.
Office space demand for example, has doubled
since 2002 as foreign firms continue to invest in the country's IT
sector.
India's new government policies such as income tax
exemptions and liberal loan policies have contributed to the
construction boom.
These factors all contribute to why
recruitment companies are finding it increasing difficult to get
Indian labourers to work in the UAE.
This is also part due to
some recruitment companies charging labourers transaction costs to
move to Dubai (this practice is not actually allowed in Dubai)
coupled with the confiscation of passports for several months as a
security deposit.
Add to that the burden of leaving family behind
and it's easy to see why so many Indian labourers would rather work
at home.
Conditions need to improve before workers are
enticed to work again in the UAE and until then, the construction
labour shortage will continue.
The demand for hiring engineers also rises as the construction projects continue. On average, engineers get better treatment than labourers although engineers should still expect a 6 day week in some cases.
