Alarm Installer in Australia?
Hi all
I have worked for a security company as an installer of intruder alarms, CCTV, access control and automated gate systems for 10 years and then as a supervisor for the last 4 years. Supervising isn't really what I desire to continue to do and am looking to return to installing.
The wife and I are currently in the first stages of the immigration process to Australia, and I am finding obtaining information on job prospects very difficult and am concerned there may not be much of a need for work in this field.
We are currently looking at either Adelaide, Melbourne or Perth and would be greatful if anyone in these areas has any information on their experiences working in the security industry.
Thanks
Phil

And, one word of advice...Don't come to Adelaide if this is the type of work you are looking for. We've been here 6 months and hub is still not working. He has been offered jobs in both Melbourne and Perth, but doesn't want to move again.
Feel free to PM me if you want any other information.

Mate,
I worked for 15 years in the UK security industry initially with ADT and then Bell, doing mainly bank / financial institution installations.
Now, happily settled in Brisbane, I now currently work for a major Building, Automation, Security company looking after some top end projects.
I'm new here (3rd post) so I'm not really sure how private messages or how email is set up in the profile?
As far as Alarm Engineers go, there is plenty of work...
