Steel fabrication Manager
I am not sure where this thread ought to be posted, so please bear with me.
OH manages a Steel Fabrication and Galvanizing Unit/ Factory in the middle east. The strength is about a 100 workers.
As Manager, he is completely incharge of Hiring/ Organisation/ delegation of works/ meeting clients/ oversee execution of works / getting new orders/ pricing/ costing / estimation etc.
we have been granted the 175 visa, and are going to validate our visa soon.
we are in a dilemma as to where we need to settle down. From the seek website, we see that most of his job opportunities are in Perth, but opportunities for me (Architect) are plentiful in Sydney.
OH is and will be main breadwinner of the family- my income will only help supplement it, if required.
My question is this - are there "undavertised" jobs in the field just mentioned in Sydney? Do we play it safe and move to Perth- or shall we scout around in Sydney?
I am sure there must be plenty of steel factories in Sydney - just not advertised???
I am not sure i'm making myself clear- any one? help?

Re: Steel fabrication Manager
i would like to add that Perth seems fabulous to me as a place to raise ur kids and family life - but am only worried about it being so far away from everywhere else. My immediate family will most likely be settling down in Melbourne - which will make meeting up fro Christmas and stuff - far from possible.....

Much of this type of industry is closing in Sydney to the benifit of crap coming in from China.
If mining goes fall over and the AUD $ drops, then it will make manufacturing more attractive again in Australia and inductries such as agriculture will comeback through and have different equipment demands.
There is fabrication (espcially agricultural) in regional towns like Wagga Wagga, Bendigo, Toowoomba, etc.
For the short term, I would suggest he has the best chnace of work in Perth....but for how long?

Re: Steel fabrication Manager
Plenty of this kind of work in the Hunter Valley (near Newcastle). The architecture job might be harder to find. Cost of living is less than Sydney.
You only mention Sydney & Perth, why not Melbourne? Lots of manufacturing down in Geelong. Manufacturing in Sydney would likely be in the outer suburbs, e.g. out West. My sister finally gave up on living in Perth due to the distance from family on the east coast. It's a long (ish) and expensive trip esp if you have kids. From what I've heard most of the jobs are in remote rural parts of WA rather than Perth. Are you willing to be separated from your husband for extended periods of time so that he could do remote work?

Re: Steel fabrication Manager
There are sheet metal fabricators in Sydney, but operating a business in Sydney is sooo expensive (as is Perth, but the premium that W.A. miners appear to be prepared to pay for equipment off sets that somewhat).
