Electrical Engineering Jobs Abroad

Japan. With the Japanese at the forefront of global technology, finding international electrical engineering jobs in this country will give you exposure to some of the most cutting edge practices and advancements in the engineering world. The Japanese economy is healthy right now and there are plenty of opportunities for talented, intrepid electrical engineers looking to advance their careers (while soaking up a little Sake in the throbbing heart of Tokyo!). There’s also a strong expat community in Japan ready to help those “fresh off the boat” and smooth your transition to the sky-high metropolis.

India. India’s booming economy and popularity as an IT outsourcing destination has led to an abundance of electrical engineering jobs in recent years. If you’re looking to stimulate your senses and get in on the ground of new and exciting projects, this is the place for you. India will allow you to further your electrical engineering career, while contributing to the growth of a developing country. English is widely spoken in the big cities, but get ready for a major culture shock as the explosion of colors, smells, sights and sounds knocks you off your feet!

New Zealand. If there’s one thing Kiwis like to do, it’s travel. And that’s good news for the rest of us, as it makes for a deficit in certain positions, with electrical engineering jobs included. So if you fancy living and working in the land of Hobbiton and the All Blacks while making a solid income, New Zealand is your jam. For those not linguistically gifted, you won’t have to worry about learning a new language, or experiencing any major culture shocks, but you’ll still get to take in spectacular lakes, lofty mountains, crystal clear fjords and fiery volcanoes! Skydive out of a plane or launch yourself off a bridge suspended only by a flimsy elastic (when you’re not busy in the office, of course!).
