Hi Paul,
Thanks!
I am working in SG as Project/Construction Mngt Consultant(site based) supervising/checking Contractors' works from building, sewerage and mrt enhancement projects.
Back in the Phils, I used to work on various companies as Project Estimator, Site Engr, Planning Engr, Project Engr, Construction Engr, and even up to Project/Senior's Manager level. I am a Civil Engr by degree and profession. I have decided to work in Singapore due to better salary offer; an Engr to Project Manager's position in the Phils can only earned in the range of SGD1000-1500 whereas here I am earning SGD4100 - but of course accomodation is not included which will cost you at the range of SGD1200-1500(conservative estimate); that will leave a net savings of around SGD2500.
Yes, I am forward to working in Brunei by next year if the opportunity comes with the right compensation. This is the reason why I joined this forum to at least know the cost of living and how much is the salary range there for my profession.
Best regards,
Dan
