Living & working in Brisbane
 

Hi, :)
Myself and my family are moving out to brisbane in August/September this year we are looking to live in the Northern suburbs near where my sister lives in Ferny Grove. Can anyone tell us if there are any areas to avoid and where the good schools are as we have a 2.5 year old daughter. Also i am an aircraft engineer (airframe/engine) has anyone got any links to job opportunities in this trade. Look forward to your replys
cheers for now

Greggsy,

Can't help you with the schools and area fronts as we're on the sunshine Coast but you should have a look at the Boeing website and on seek for Boeing positions they are based in Brisbane. Aside from that have a look on seek anyway.

Check out this website for a very thorough look at what's in the aerospace industry in Queensland.

Good luck,

Hi Greggsy,

My hubby is also an aircraft engineer (in the Navy) and we are looking at the Toowoomba area (about 90 minutes out of Brisbane) currently. There is an army aviation base near there at Oakey. There is also RAAF Amberley near Ipswich. Both are probably a bit far out for you though.

If you register with www.careerone.com.au, you can get emails sent to you of aircraft engineer jobs. We registered about a month ago and have seen quite a few. (Sod's law there don't seem to be any on there at the mo!) Some of the defence ones require you to be a citizen though. Also try looking at www.airmech.co.uk as they have job noticeboards for engineers all over the world.

Hope that helps.

My son used to live in Brisbane and worked for Boeing (defence) at RAAF Amberley.

He used to commute every day and found it fairly easy. He also had several colleagues who commuted every day.

Its great to get some info on one of the places we are considering emigrating to, especially schools as we have 3 boys 13, 8, & 4 and good schooling is top of the agenda.

Thanks :)
