What jobs are in high demand in Fiji?

High-demand roles in Fiji cluster in tourism and hospitality (resort management, dive instruction, F&B leadership), healthcare (doctors, specialist nurses, allied health), construction and engineering (civil engineers, project managers, qualified tradespeople), education (English-language teachers, international-school staff), and offshore services (call-centre supervisors, accountants for the growing BPO sector around Suva). Senior expat roles typically pay FJD 60,000 to 150,000 a year (USD 26,000 to 66,000), with resort general managers and specialist medical staff at the higher end. Local wages sit well below this: the typical Fijian household income runs around FJD 25,000 to 40,000 a year (USD 11,000 to 18,000). Work permits are role-specific and require employer sponsorship.
