Local job vacancies for OFWs repatriated from crisis-hit countries

Overseas Filipino workers repatriated recently from crisis-hit countries may avail of a host of job vacancies offered by various firms, the Department of Labor and Employment said Friday.

But while DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said the jobs are part of "Assist WELL"—a package of services to ensure the reintegration of repatriated OFWs into society—she admitted they may not pay as well as the OFWs' jobs abroad.

She said that while local salaries may be lower than those abroad, OFWs who come home for good should consider that being in one's own country mitigates the social cost of migration.

"The local job vacancies are there and OFW-repatriates may consider these as an option," she said in a statement.

Baldoz said she had contacted a conglomerate that can offer jobs similar or related to those of repatriated OFWs from Libya.

These include management positions in power plant construction and operation such as design managers, engineering managers, site managers, construction managers, commissioning managers, and quality assurance/quality control managers.

The conglomerate also has civil works vacancies such as field engineers, office engineers, QA/QC staff, planning engineers, and schedulers. It also offers electrical works positions, such as turbine specialists, electrical generator engineers, electromechanical planners, and electromechanical schedulers.

For mechanical works, the vacancies are for welding inspectors, piping inspectors, coal handling specialists, boiler specialists, waste water treatment engineers and specialists, piping engineers and supervisors, and demi water engineers.

For instrumentation and control, the vacancies are for design engineers for I&C, QA/QC supervisors for I&C, QA/QC I&C engineers, and I&C supervisors, engineers, and technicians.

There are also various positions for civil works, strcutural/architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing, surveying, and safety in high rise structures and buildings the company is constructing, as well as positions in underwater construction (rehabilitation/construction of waste water, sewage treatment plants, and pipeline), such as field engineers, office engineers, geodetic engineers, and surveyors.

Baldoz said the conglomerate is also into roads, bridges, elevated highways, and railway systems construction, and thus in need of skilled and professional workers for civil works and surveying, both in office and field operations.
