Hi Dave I'm in the same profession as you site engineer/manager in the UK and trying to work remotely. I've had enough of the construction sites & England in general and planning an exit strategy. In my opinion it's very difficult to find a job that you can work completely remote (Worldwide) Most companies expect you to be onsite at least 1/2 days a week depending on your job role because you need to engage with the site team/inspections. If your 100% working from home normally you need to be living within the UK but there are exceptions to the rule. Nowadays businesses are implementing mostly hybrid role. From my in-depth research the jobs that you could possibly work from anywhere are the following: -Construction Planner -CAD/BIM Technician -Civil Engineer Designer -Structural Steel detailer -Project Manager The above list could allow you to work for a company and live in Thailand but it depends on the companies attitude towards remote working, are you very skilled in that particular job eg 10+ years experience, have you worked at the company for many years so they know you can do the job and trust you, supply and demand-Is there a skill shortage and they can't fill that position. This would provide you with leverage to work fully remote. The other option would be to potentially work freelance/both to generate varies sources of income. Also, this doesn't get mentioned a lot is your pension, If you can work for a UK company and pay your taxes it would be better in the long run for your retirement. Unfortunately my job is location dependent as a site engineer as you know. I could possibly try to transition into one of these roles mentioned above. But this would require spending ex amount of years learning that type of trade in the UK. If that's the case I might as well learn a more remote friendly role such as IT/programming, Digital Marketing etc as I think you can hit the ground running in a year with the right commitment. I hope the above info helps and goodluck. I think if you can work fully remote, the work life balance would be great living in a 3rd world country eg Latin America/Asia. But most important is to earn a Western salary and have a great life.

Hi Dave apologies for the late reply, I know of construction recruitment agencies in the UK eg Anderselite, fawkes and reece etc but I haven't tried to work remotely. I would google search, speak with recruiters and contact companies directly. You have nothing to lose and plenty to gain, hope you get some luck, cheers

@Faddy F Thanks for taking your time in replying. It's a unconventional answer but I get what you are trying to say. You need passion, interest and overall enjoyment or you will never make it.
