Is anyone hiring in Haiti?

One of our members recently asked, "I've talked to a thousand different people in skilled trades, and no one can find any info on companies that will be working in Haiti. Is it to early to expect any kind of organized construction in that area."

That is the very reason we created this Job Search site. To find those companies that are going to be working in Haiti, and in other countries, and hiring skilled construction professionals.

Our research to date shows that some U.S. companies have received contracts (we've posted them here on the site), but they are being forced to try to use Haitian workers first (politically correct, of course). Unfortunately, the Haitians don't have a big enough, or experienced enough workforce to do the really big jobs (one reason there was so much destruction in the first place), so they are currently doing jobs like clearing debris and building very small structures. The big construction jobs can't start until the tons of debris are cleared.

When the really big construction jobs start, like at the Port and the Government buildings, U.S. companies will need skilled workers to get the jobs done right, on time, and on budget.

We have posted companies that will be rebuilding the Port. They are looking for workers with some maritime construction experience but it is always worth taking a look at their openings and getting in front of these companies with your skills.

We'll keep working hard to find the new jobs and will keep you posted! And, please tell those "thousand" people you talk to to visit this Web site!
