I never worked in the BIW section per se, so I doubt I would have met them on site.

Re: electrical maintenance?
You'll still need to go to the TRA for an Australian Recognised Trade Certificate. Some info here: http://www.workplace.gov.au/workplac...dQuestions.htm
TRA Homepage: http://www.workplace.gov.au/workplac...itiatives/TRA/
QLD Electrical Licensing Authority (loads of info) here: http://www.dir.qld.gov.au/electrical...ning/licences/
Hope this helps

You must have:
a relevant qualification
passed certain exams
a completion statement, issued by a registered training organisation as evidence of competency in relevant electrical trade work (eg. electrical mechanic, electrical fitter, refrigeration mechanic)
If you have all three, you can complete the application for electrical work licence/permit (other than apprentice) (PDF, 396 kB).
You will then receive an electrical work training permit. It lets you work, under supervision.
Otherwise you will need to complete some training through a registered training organisation. You may need to sit an exam or be skills tested. You may need to complete a course. You need to discuss this with your registered training organisation.
A relevant qualification is:
an Australian Recognised Tradesman’s Certificate (ARTC) issued by Trades Recognition Australia, the federal agency assessing migrants’ trade skills.

Re: electrical maintenance?
Anyone any experience on CNC machine tools, which licence etc?
I did mechanical apprenticeship, got HNC mechanical and production with my HNC units specialising in robotics and machine control, have been classed as machinist first class by the TRA.
When I finished apprenticeship did machine tool fitting and then went to a company that needed me to be electrical and mechanical so did ONC electrical/electronics.
Have then worked for over 15 years as a service engineer repairing, installing and interfacing CNC machine tools (mostly Fanuc controls).
I prefer the electrical side of machine maintenance but have never done any electrical installation type work I'm assuming I will need a licence but is this going to be a problem?
We are going to WA on the 14th Jan 06.

Re: electrical maintenance?
I did a mechanical apprenticeship, fitter machinist working on CNC machine tools.
It was all quite new back when i started (1984).
Then when I went to a service company I added the ONC Electrical but have only done electrical work involving machine tools.
So I can for example fault find and repair an inverter drive, interface a machine tool and a robot loader, trace and repair pretty much any control fault on any machine and I can also rebuild the thing mechanically and set and program it.
Wouldn't feel confident rewiring a house or installing trunking or conduit as I've never needed to do it.
There is another thread running about the pain normal sparks have had getting a licence so may be that job in K-Mart will start looking attractive.
