Hi Sthomas157 and welcome to the forum.

I cant help you with anything about your job but you could try looking in the To do list and useful links. Or maybe post a request if you are seeking work in the Jobs wanted forum.

If there is anything else I can help you with you can contact me here

Definetely Adelaide? Have you tried John Holland? IASA were recruiting at Perth but may have been licenced positions. SEEK usually have a few vacancies for techs. If you post on Air Mech, you may have a better response.
If you are not presently in OZ I'm afraid you'll struggle to get anybody to hire you.

Thanks for the info NELBHOY

May i ask what you mean by AIR Mech. is this a site ?

Cheers

NELBHOY

Yeah. If you type AIRMECH into Google then you should find it. You may have to sign up to the site,which costs a few quid, before you can post.

QANTAS need some techo's by the way they are going....you don't do Rolls Royce engine changes do you? LOL!

billymacker

you should be ok with them (Qantas) i think most of thier tech's have no licences also

sthomas157

Funny thing is i have experience with rolls royce engines, all be it slightly smaller ones.

Is that true that quantas employ non licenced engineers ?

Dorothy

No, it's not. I don't know where you got your experience from, but I would have thought that aircraft "engineers" would need licensing. Are you actually an engineer with an engineering degree?

sthomas157

You dont need a degree to be an engineer. I have adequate qualification to say that i am an engineer. I just know that some companies do take on people without licences, there responsability and work is just smaller.

NELBHOY

For info you don't need an engineering degree to be an aircraft engineer. Licensing and degrees are totally different.

Dorothy

I'm a secretary. Does that make me a keyboard engineer?

For the OP, I would assume that any reputable company would want licenses here. You need a license to do just about anything else.
