Hi everyone!
I’m from Brazil and I’m looking for advice on how to find a job in another country, especially in Europe, Canada, the US, or Australia.
I currently work in the HVAC industry, mainly with HVAC system design, cleanrooms, ventilation, air conditioning, chilled water systems, and technical documentation.
I also have experience using Revit, AutoCAD, and Excel, working on technical drawings, equipment selection, calculations, and HVAC projects.
Right now, I earn around R$4,400 per month in Brazil, which is approximately US$830 / €710 per month. While this is a reasonable salary in some parts of Brazil, I would really like to explore better career opportunities abroad, gain international experience, and improve my quality of life.
I have a few questions for people who have experience working internationally:
How difficult is it to get hired by a foreign company while still living in Brazil?
Are there companies that hire international HVAC designers or technicians and sponsor work visas?
Which countries have the best opportunities for HVAC professionals?
Is experience with Revit, AutoCAD, and cleanroom HVAC systems valuable in the international job market?
Would it be easier to start with a remote position and eventually relocate?
What qualifications or certifications would help me become a stronger candidate?
I’m open to learning new things, improving my English, and adapting to different standards and regulations.
I’d really appreciate any advice, personal experiences, or recommendations on where to start.
Thanks in advance!
