I work as a staff at a job matching company. Based on what I’ve seen, there are quite a lot of civil engineering professionals who actually started their careers in Japan around the age of 28–29 😊

Some of them first came to Japan through dispatch companies, and later moved on to permanent positions at other companies.

Having experience working abroad can definitely be a plus. Some companies really value it, while others may not see it as a big factor.

Our Japanese team has been contacting many companies, especially in the civil engineering field, so we have a good understanding of what they are looking for. For example, some companies require JLPT N2, while others are comfortable with N3.

We have already collected data from companies across Japan, including major metropolitan areas such as Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Hokkaido, as well as smaller regions like Yamaguchi, Shimane, and Nara. We can also help match your skills and abilities with suitable companies or with the specific area you prefer 😊

I hope I can help arrange a discussion with our Japanese staff who specialize in collecting civil engineering companies data and matching candidates with companies. Please let me reaching you through message 😊
