percentage of positions and engineers who make long overseas transfers

[Amy]

Hello.
I wanted to ask you what is the percentage of positions for engineers in the Italian private industry (as a whole) that provide long transfers abroad (i.e. they involve periods abroad over 6 months a year).
and, more generally, what is the percentage of engineers working in Italy in the private industrial sector that makes long trips abroad?
I thank you in advance for your answers and contributions and greetings,
Amerigo

Bah....depends what you do. If you go to work on oil platforms, it's like you say. If you are a manufacturer of industrial plants I see it difficult. Unless you're a moving boss and you're building from the lawn, a company town, like danieli with steel plants.

 

[Amy]

Thank you for your answer, mechanicalmg. I understand that it varies by sector. and, considering all industrial sectors, about 100 engineers working in Italy how many of these make long trips abroad, in your opinion? and, what is the percentage of these positions compared to the total positions for advertised engineers?

 

[meccanicamg]

and if the data is wrong? According to my opinion, they do not exceed 5% of the persons entitled. are special work, responsibility and specific of large plant companies. not only the iron and steel industry but also the mining industry and sugar and the like have these things.
job offers ads, if they do not reserve some strange surprise, are not normally with long-distance references.

Sorry, what do you mean if the data is wrong? What data?

 

[meccanicamg]

You ask for my opinion... I don't have the statistics in my hand... I'm just about what I have around me.

Perhaps first of all must we understand the meaning of the question? What do you want to know? What do you want to get out of the percentage of engineers who move?

Hello Massivonweizen. the meaning of the question is: about 100 engineers working in Italy how many do long trips abroad (over 6 months)? and what is the percentage of these positions compared to the total positions for advertised engineers?
I wanted to know if, first, the two data are quite similar, and what is, according to you, the number of such positions regarding the total that a hypothetical engineer interested in working in the Italian private industry but making long trips abroad is plausible that can find? In my question it is implicit that this hypothetical engineer has not yet decided on which sector to work and therefore is willing to consider any sector within the private industry.

You ask for my opinion... I don't have the statistics in my hand... I'm just about what I have around me.

I get it. I thought that, in fact, this percentage was between 10 and 20%, because I agree with you that it is around 5% (or even less) in most industrial sectors, but I felt that it was clearly higher in sectors such as oil (as you rightly underlined), but also in that of the great constructions both related to the oil&gas sector and the great public works (to understand us in those areas where companies like cimola ... However, you are probably right because even in these realities the number of engineers who are engaged in long trips abroad (and, I assume, the number of such positions published) is not much more than 5%.

Hello Massivonweizen. the meaning of the question is:

What you answered is not the reason for the question, but exactly the question itself.
I repeat the question: What do you need to know what is the percentage of engineers moving?

I repeat the question: What do you need to know what is the percentage of engineers moving?

the motivation is in the second part of my answer to your question. What is the percentage of positions that as an engineer I can expect to find if I am interested in being hired by a company in Italy but want to work abroad for a large part of the year? and, secondly, this percentage x of ads is substantially equal to that of the number of engineers working in Italy but do long trips abroad or is higher because during the career the number of those who make long trips abroad tends to decrease?

 

[Amy]

What you answered is not the reason for the question, but exactly the question itself.
I repeat the question: What do you need to know what is the percentage of engineers moving?

I ask both because I am interested in my professional career and because I was posted by an interested friend who would like to enroll in engineering and work abroad but being hired in Italy in the long term can stabilize in Italy. I thought the percentage was between 10 and 20%, but it probably has mechanical reasonmg.

I'm the only one who didn't understand anything?

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

Don't worry, I'm here too.

 

[Amy]

Sorry, I don't know what's unclear. I wanted to ask you, according to your knowledge/experience, how many position announcements for engineers that involve long-distances abroad (over 6 months). and more generally, on 100 engineers who work in Italy, how many are fannishing long tarsferte abroad?

less than 5%

offers and announcements for long trips practically there are no.
They can't send their brains to run mine yards, so they use corporate seniors, but few.

Thank you for your answer, stevie.

in general, it is true, mechanicalmg, but I also found announcements of companies like bonatti, trevi, cimolai ..., who seek young graduates in engineering that after a short period of training in Italy are sent abroad for medium-long periods (of course not to manage the yards but to assist the project managers). However, probably, as you support, they represent a limited percentage of positions for engineers.

@amy as they told you, it depends a lot on the company: This type of transfer is very widespread where the product must necessarily be shipped "to pieces" and installed on the site (notes size). We are therefore talking about lines for packaging and bottling and above all plants for energy and oil & gas production. We can also go to junior figures in graduates, which maybe initially do a very operational work (and when I say very...I say I am just editing) and that however depend on the site manager, usually with some years of experience. Unfortunately I do not know how to quantify the percentage on the total of the ads because it depends a lot on the sector, as said: but limiting itself to the scope above, they are not even few. bonatti is one of those (I know it relatively well).
