    Possible options?

    I have a friend that is a certified Carpenter with architectural and structural design experience and certification from Canada. He has 10+ years’ experience in carpentry and 5+ years in Autocad and design programs.

    He would not need to be sponsored for a visa. He makes the equivalent of $350 HKD per hour.

    Looking for possible advice / employment options for him here in Hong Kong with the same salary.

    The same gross salary or the same net income?

    Good question... gross salary due to increased expenditures in HK even with favourable tax rate.

    His skills are quite common here and on the mainland. And he likely doesn't speak the language to get good deals on materials.
    Only chance would be if he has a really specific skill but it's a long shot as someone in China will do it better and cheaper.
