RE : SPONSORED MIGRATION TO SOUTH AUSTRALIA EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

My name is Stuart Skevington. I am a Regional Project Officer promoting
Sponsored Migration to South Australia and employed by the Barossa & Light
Regional Development Board, a South Australian Government funded organization.
Our Skilled Migration Project focuses only on employment opportunities where
skilled positions cannot readily be filled from our local labour market.

Your name and contact details, as well as some information on your skills,
qualifications and work history are available to employers in the Barossa Valley
region following your application for migration to Australia. A local employer
has asked me to contact you to determine whether you are willing to consider
sponsored migration to Australia. Some information about the employer, the
position available and the Barossa Valley region itself is as follows.

1) The employer.
The employer is Ahrens Engineering Pty Ltd, a thriving business which supplies
structural steel, platework and industrial buildings to the mining, material
handling, construction and winery industries. It also undertook some significant
project work for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. Its main activities include the
design and construction of industrial buildings, structural steel projects, and
the manufacturer of grain silos. They now have projects in most Australian
States including a $5.3 million multi-commodity storage system in Queensland,
structural steelwork for the Hindmarsh Bridge project in South Australia, a
major construction project for Inghams in Western Australia, and involvement in
a $23 million contract with the Australian Army to erect 21 buildings in Darwin.

2) The position
The position offered is boilermaker / welder.

3) The Barossa Valley.
The Barossa Valley is the oldest, largest and most successful of Australia`s
wine regions. It is situated approximately 70km northeast of Adelaide, the
capital of the state of South Australia. The three major towns in the Barossa
Valley, Tanunda, Nuriootpa & Angaston, all offer an enviable lifestyle with all
the attractions of a rural lifestyle despite being 1 hour away from the vibrant
city of Adelaide.

Can you please contact me by return email to indicate whether you are interested
in this position and in migration to South Australia under the Regional
Sponsored Migration Scheme

Yours sincerely,



Stuart Skevington
Regional Project Officer Skilled Migration

I got two job offers from the skilled migration unit in Victoria before I got my visa. I never applied for them as I had already secured a job myself before I got the visa.

Hi NJFOZ

What´s your occupation?

Did you do anything special to be offered the jobs.

I was nominated by Victoria 3 to 4 months ago but have not heard from them since then...

bad luck I guess..

cheers...

My partner has a job offer in Perth, and it is in writing. It wasnt required an any evidence for our visa application.
