Elcetrician looking for work in spain?


im a electrician wanting to move to spain with my family but finding it difficult to find work.does anyone out there no the best places to look for work in this area.is there any big projects or hotels being built that would require english electricians ? do you have any contacts? please help! thankyou!

It depends on where you want to live. It also depends where you live now. If you are in the UK you have a right to live and work here.
Everything is getting a little difficult here right now on the jobs front. I doubt you'll get to work for a Spanish company. Your best bet may be to work for yourself. I have friends who are doing just that, but it's tough going as the Euro is strengthening against the UK pound and people aren't having the work done. However, there is always emergency work that needs doing. If you got into an area where no one knows of an electrician, and you are good, then you may do well. Bear in mind, if you are coming from the UK the strength of the Euro will lessen the amount you may get through the exchange rate.
If you are coming with your family you may need to become a resident. The tax laws differ here to the UK. The first thing you should do is contact a good English speaking lawyer (abogado) to help you find a house and how to get started.
Why not come for a visit. You can't beat first hand searching rather than looking from your own country.
I live here. It is a great country to be in, but beware the beaurocracy, it can be frustrating.

Well, I don't know any specific jobs, but you can put your buisseness in the local phonebook yellow pages, people will call you. Everywhere that you go, there needs to be an electrician. The more populated the place is, the more jobs are.
