They recently took bricklayers off the SOL, so that says something about construction I suppose.

My pal is the building manager for a well known house building firm here in Perth, reckons things are very tight at the moment. Lots of tradies without or with insufficient work at the moment.

Thats been the way for quite a while now..... Its just taken the govt too long to take brickies off the list...

Does anyone actually know a real live brickie who came over on their skills got a job intheir trade at the mo.... ????.

None of them that i know do....

My cousins hubby came over here as a brickie last year, he's gone back due to no work. He was on a WHV but left early.

All of the brickies I know who have stayed have "Diversified"

What about pipe fitters in the oil and gas side i have had my visa for almost 4 yrs now,planning on moving over in the last year of my 5 yrs visa,and am hoping or am thinking there is plenty of work in my line anyway,gorgon job just to name a few?
I have hardly been stuck or out of work here in the uk for long and have worked on sites and offshore for past 20yrs,does worry me i go there not get any work,one of the many reason i want to head to perth is there is supposed to me so much work and they dont have enough tradies.

yeah i have experiance in pipe fitting and and welding in the oil and gas industry aswell. and i have also never found it a problem getting a job eithier within a workshop or on site here in the UK but im wondering myself if its going to be different out in Australia.

One of my wife's Uncles is a pipe fitter and has just done a 6 month spell offshore in The Pilbara, he got sponsored while in the UK and all travel expenses paid.

Re: heared on the radio ... is this true?
 

Do you know what company that was threw where he got the sponsorship?

Wished i had been offered that,i already have my visa,offshore work would be ideal for me as i have done a lot of that for past 20yrs in the north sea,the time off would be good to spend time with my wife and our soon to be newborn
