Construction jobs are offered in all corners of the world. Whether you want to draw out your inner Steve Irwin in Oz, experience the traditions of the Mayan people, or get jazzy in New Orleans, there’s a spot for you to make a difference working in construction.

In Australia, one of the most popular countries for construction jobs abroad, positions offer individuals the opportunity to work in the Australian outback. You’ll learn how to ride horses, operate everything from tractors to chainsaws, build fences, and maybe even help wrangle the cattle working on an Australian ranch. They don’t promise to turn you into Crocodile Dundee, but they will guarantee at least one construction job offer by the end of the training period. Now that’s something you can’t find in your own backyard!

For a construction worker with a little more experience under their tool belt, New Orleans, located in the southern United States, has opened it doors to foreigners eager to fulfill construction jobs. Especially since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the jazzy city has welcomed all the help they can get to rebuild their city. You’ll get a good feeling helping out a community struck by a natural disaster, no matter how long ago it was, and you will get to enjoy the spicy French and Southern fusion of culture along the way. For foodies, jazz enthusiasts, and history buffs, New Orleans serves a hearty helping of all three of things that are unique to Louisiana’s Creole capital.

Guatemala provides great opportunities to build and work in construction abroad. Organizations in Guatemala often help indigenous Mayans to create shelter and sustainable communities for themselves. A wide variety of construction jobs can be found in Guatemala focused on improving the overall well-being of local communities. In your free time, brush up on your Spanish as you climb ancient temples surrounded by rainforest, explore coffee plantations, and hike to the top of volcanoes that tower over towns. 

If these locations don’t sound like your cup of tea, don’t be discouraged. There are more opportunities for construction work abroad than there are nails in your toolbox, especially in developing countries across Africa and Latin America.
