In a Best Jobs to Work in 2018 UK survey created by Glassdoor, Software Engineer Jobs scored highly for job satisfaction, median base salary and thousands of job openings.

Global demand for Aviation skills is set to overtake supply by 2027, meaning that airlines will be offering exciting careers for Aircraft Technicians as one of the best jobs to work in 2018.

6. Aviation Jobs in the UAE

The UAE is becoming an increasingly attractive job prospect for engineers and technical workers looking for new careers and new ways of life. The UAE government offers a tax-free income, annual leave ranges from 22-30 days per year and 270,000 new jobs will be created in the UAE before 2021.

7. Engineering Jobs

Engineering is one of the most high-paying and fast-moving industries in the world. Whilst women make up over 50% of the UK population, just 9% of the UK’s engineering workforce is female, and despite the increased demand for engineering skills, fewer young people are embarking on Engineering apprenticeships. Engineering jobs provide rewarding careers for every type of skill set or background, and the current lack of women, diverse groups and young people in engineering presents a unique opportunity for new talent to step forward.
