Applying in the UK or the Gulf

United Kingdom

UK construction CVs should list CSCS cards, SMSTS/SSSTS, and CDM responsibilities. For surveyor roles, cite two measurable wins, relevant licences, and notice period; keep the CV to two pages without a photo.

UAE, Saudi Arabia & Qatar

Gulf projects often require NEBOSH, heat-stress planning, and multinational site experience. For surveyor posts, state visa status, languages, and any multinational brand or site experience hiring managers expect.
