Mechanical Engineering Position
I emigrated to the sunshine coast 6months ago and found it difficult to find a mechanical engineering position. I have managed to secure a position and now I am looking for a qualified mechanical engineer / mechanical CAD draftsman to assist with a number of planned projects.
Knowing how hard it is to find work on the sunshine coast for non civil engineering, if I can be of any assistance to any mechanical engineer who is looking for work then send me a PM.

Re: Mechanical Engineering Position
The position is for an immediate fill and requires expertise in mechanical engineering e.g. understanding of mechanical engineering principles and materials etc as well as competency in AutoCAD.
The projects involve the design and development of production machinery for a building wall and roof product.
PM box has space now.
Cheers, Pete

Re: Mechanical Engineering Position
Once you get paid over a certain amount (hubby is the finances person and I am very preggers so forgive me for being vague), any extra is taxed at 70% making it unprofitable to bother earning anyway... unless you can keep your pay and reduce your hours (would be lovely) or afford an investment property to do the whole negative gearing wotsit. Plus you lose family assistance. Hmmmmm. I think the tax band then goes down up towards $200K.

In my opinion I'm already living in the best place in Australia - the sunshine coast!

I was factoring family assistance in for 2 kids and medicare. At 93K we would be taxed at 40% +1.5 % medicare, at 95K that rises to 71.5%. So that extra pay increase looks pretty poor. BTW I'm quoting % tax per extra 1000 and hubby's spreadsheet is extremely complicated lol.
But if you're on 150K (and have 2 kids, don't know if you do or not... this is just on our spreadsheet) you would get taxed at 41.5%. This kicks in at 112k.
So if you fall in that mid range band you are taxed at a much higher rate, which is a bit weird.
I should kick him up the bum and get him to work longer hours or send him off to site lol
