Re: industrial electrician
It's fairly variable, at least here in Melbourne. I did my apprenticeship/training in airline engineering but spent the last 2 1/2 years in the UK as an electrical/instrument/control tech in a gas turbine power station. UK wages were £25k.
Unfortunately TRA refuse to give me electrical trade cert out of aviation as 'aircraft syatems aren't electrical enough!'
When I arrived and was looking at technician jobs for reasonable size companies wages seemed to vary from $40k up to $50k. Now I'm back in aircraft engineering am earning just under $50k.
As an industrial sparks I would imagine average pay levels would be in the same region.
The main hurdle will be getting an electricians licence, are you JIB registered in the UK or affiliated to a trade organisation?
Their main criteria seems to be proof af an acceptable apprenticeship without which they will give you nowt.
Then I think to get a full unrestricted licence I think you have to do 13 laps of Ayers Rock, running backwards, left trouser leg rolled up, singing Waltzing Matilda, but only on a Wednesday between 11AM and 3.30PM
Actually I lied on the last bit......
You can do it on Tuesdays as well as long as you fill in 42 forms in triplicate, witnessed by a man with a beard at least two foot long.

Is it the beard or the man that has to be two foot long and would 0.6 of a metre suffice?

If you look at form 1786530_2005(1), page 427, Section 13, Subsection 279, Paragraph 62f, Note xxmci (the very very small print at the bottom of the page, available only on forms issued from the Broome TRA office), you'll find out exactly what you need to know. Failing that you can apply at your local office on Form 1786530_2005(2) for a written answer to your question but this form has been out of print since the week before it came into effect.
