I'd suggest you put 'etihad' into the search facility, I know that this subject has been discussed on here before

It was advertised on LinkedIn
Most results from the search engine are for football, Etihad stadium of Manchester city

I just typed in ‘Etihad’ in the search box at the top of the forum page, there is then a drop down list asking if you want to search either ‘Everywhere’ or ‘This Forum’, choose the latter and all results come up showing Etihad Rail previous postings…

If Etihad were advertising for drivers with ECTS knowledge then I'm sure it was likely in an attempt to recruit already qualified drivers from European networks. Deutsche Bahn in particular since they played a major role in development of the UAE's rail network. In either case I don't think anyone on the forums can really help as much as they could with a UK based train company since the UK network is the forum's area of expertise.
But people have left - or may know others - from the UK railway to go for rail jobs in emerging sectors in places like Saudi Arabia, UAE etc. So there might be some insights here, although it is more unlikely
My understanding was that the people who left the UK railway network for these roles in the Middle East were actually for consultation and management rather than driving trains. Indeed if knowledge of ECTS was a requirement for the advertised driver jobs that would limit the potential pool of candidates in the UK compared to those on the continent.

It's Africa but still OPC is used to recruit for Etihad Rail, might not be necessarily ECTS knowledge required here. Passing The OPC is the determiner even if you don't have ECTS knowledge, you will be recruited based on your driving experience
GTR? What about SE trains that operate on HS1 ?

HEX (GWR) would along with Crossrail and transport for Wales if you do the Cambrian line
Elizabeth line would (Heathrow tunnels).
The poster didn’t list a vacancy or advert in their application so we can’t know this.
Does Eurostar use ETCS?
On the E320s I believe. Don't think the 373s do.

I thought Eurostar would be TVM signalling, as that's what's used on the French HS lines so it's what they used for CTRL and HS1
Not sure to be honest. Don't know if it is needed for Amsterdam
Don't 373s serve Belgium already though?
