Hello there everybody, can anybody tell me if there is any work in australia for electricians i would love to emigrate, i have been on this website twice and i think its great listening to real people.
Also would it be better to go on a working visa for 6 months or to apply straight away, which way do you have more choices.

Baldbutts himself (the one and only) is a sparky so talk to him. There are loads of tradespeople on the site. My hubbie is a chippie and we (and BB) are heading to Perth.

The best dough is on big projects - often on remote mining sites or commercial buildings. Have a go at contacting some of the bigger contractors before getting too serious either way. That way you might get lucky and find a job waiting for you.

have you looked on this site for available jobs:- http://www.jobsearch.gov.au

this should give you some idea whats out there and the wages they pay.

I'm a plumber and I'm going to Perth too, soon they'll be no tradespeople left in UK we'll all be in Perth, do you think theyll be enough work?

This is a good site to look at but it is worth noting that the jobs advertised on here are only open to those currently registered unemployed within Australia - I am on of the 1000's in that position.

The best site to look at is www.seek.com.au

Hi denhim,

Can't say what they pay but have a look at:

http://business.thewest.com.au/ad-li...3013105371100n

and other ads on that site. Looks a job in the bush.

Dudley

Think of an market angle that none of the locals have discovered and you'll do very well. Or go bush on mining camp contracts where fewer others want to go.

Otherwise you'll be on ordinary wages - if you can get them.

I'm a toolmaker but i'm heading for New Zealand mind you there doesnt seem to be heaps of work where i want to go in the Bay of Plenty but then again i may not be looking in the right places
Cheers!

denhim

god i cant believe if i got that job that i would have to fly to work.. mind you ive heard you can make a fortune working in the bush. like a couple of years working out there would earn you enough money to buy a house outright (and a mate who is living in oz for over 20 years told me this pb before you say anything negative) mind you the flies would do my head in tho.

Dudley

Could be a good adventure if you've got the stomach for it. Just make sure you stay away from grog, gambling and fights and give up the job if it starts to send you "tropo".
