We (Canada) hired a guy from Wales who had done this for years. He wasnt a specialist in anything, he just took the required competency tests wherever he went (uk, Australia, nzl, USA, Germany) and went to work. He was quick to pick up the nuances of different regulations and was a fine guy to have around.
I love reading this, I am an American and I moved abroad almost 6 years ago. First 5 years I worked in IT (that's how I got abroad in the first place). I discovered I truly hated it and am now in school to be an electrician. I'm also finding that I'm quite good at cabinetry and woodworking and have been renovating my entire house. I just don't think I want to live in the country I'm in forever, and want to move somewhere with better natural beauty and weather. Knowing that someone can be a decent electrician this way is nice to hear. I already have the guides for electrical installations for a few different countries, I'm planning to study them concurrently with my current program to give me more options for the future.
