Hi i'm from North East Linc's, OH is heading back in the next 2 wks and i'm following in acouple of mths. Not sure how i can help but if i can i will. OH is a welder but will be working for a steel piling company contracting all over the Uk. I will show him your post and see if he can help. If thats any good to you?

Thanks heaps any info would be awesome. Looking at moving hopefully in next 3-6 months so still time to plan things...sort of haha

Hi Taniae

We have been in NZ for nearly 4 years. My husband is a fully UK qualified plumber /gasfitter.

If his drainlaying qual is through the NZ PGDB then he should look to have his qualifications assessed.

He would do that through NARIC

He may also want to look at the JIB-PMES cards for working on-site.

Ignore the above if he is UK qualified.

hi hubby is now back in the Uk, he seems to think you would be best looking at the refinerys either at Immingham or Killingholme expecially if he has his Dangerous goods endorsements. Their are already afew refinerys but before we left the Uk, their was lots of talk about a big new refinery being built at Nrth Killingholme.
Sorry i carn't be more help..........but if you need any info on that area of nrth linc's PM me Best of Luck

Thanks for that have checked out both sites and they will be a big help

Hi sans
Will definitely check those out as well. Thanks heaps

Its ok, i lived in nrth linc's all my life just about.........by afew mths here and their.
We know how frustrating it is to get the right info off the net, expecially as we are all individuals
Think you'll find most of these companies have their own web sites..with job vacancy links.
Thats what OH did at xmas, just emailed the companies direct and had 5 job offers in a week.

Hubby has just asked if your hubby has ever done Micro Tunnelling? Someone he knows is looking for people.
