Irishman considering moving to Rio

Hello Everyone, this is my first post.

I have just graduated college with a Bachelors Degree in Civil Engineering Technology.

Ideally I would like to move to Rio before summer 2013 after I organise things and save some money. I would like to get a job in my field and further study at night.

I dont speak portuguese yet but I will learn some this summer.


If I was going to Rio, I would be going with my girlfriend who is from Rio.

Does anyone here have similar circumstances to me? Is it easy to find a Civil Engineering job with little Portuguese?

Thank you

Best of luck
