Moving to Abu Dhabi

Hi everyone,

I hope you don’t mind me introducing myself.

I’m currently based in the UK and have recently started thinking about me and my wife and 10 year old son relocating to Abu Dhabi. I’m looking to connect with people who have already made the move, whether for work, business or simply a better lifestyle.

A little about me:

* Founder & Managing Director of Falcon Energy Ltd, a specialist construction and energy consultancy, for over 20 years.

* Previous experience working in the Middle East as an Oil & Gas Pipeline Supervisor with Raymond International.

* Construction and civil engineering background.

* Experience leading teams, growing a business, developing client relationships and delivering commercial success.

* Fluent in English and Moroccan Arabic (Darija).

I’m exploring senior opportunities in Abu Dhabi, particularly in operations, business development, construction, engineering, energy or property development. I’m also keen to learn from those who have relocated and understand the local business environment.

I’m not just looking for job vacancies—I genuinely want to build a network, hear about people’s experiences and connect with professionals in the region.

If anyone would be happy to share advice, recommend recruiters, introduce me to people in the industry or simply have a chat over coffee when I’m in Abu Dhabi, I’d really appreciate it.

Looking forward to getting to know some of you.

Many thanks,

Hicham
