Default mechanical plumber

hope someone can help I am trying to get a job in qld preferably and try to get some info regarding licenses.

Here in oz mechanical services and air con plumbing is taught under cert 3 in plumbing but plumbers board do not issue licences for this job

apparently you have to get licensed by BSA (building services authority) but they do not accept overseas qualifications so have to do RPL in cert 3 in engineering, but this course does not cover mechanical plumbing in detail

does anyone know anyone who does this job and what qualifications they have and licences i have rang everybody and nobody knows.

hubby does not do electrical or fridge we are currently in australia and getting nowhere fast.

can anyone help normally my threads on this subject get ignored so I am presuming no one else works in this profession he has been doing it 25 years and is extremely qualified and experienced in this work.

skill is on modl but getting info is nearly impossible I have spoke to TAFE who have no idea either

thanks

this is the job description from the immi site and basically this sums up what OH does



Installs, maintains and repairs piping, ducting and equipment for heating, cooling and ventilation of buildings or vessels.


Tasks Include:
fabricates and installs piping for steam, water and other services
installs small bore heating systems
installs ducting constructed from sheet materials for heating, ventilation and airconditioning (HVAC) systems and exhaust systems
assembles and installs fabricated components and equipment for mechanical services
assembles and installs machinery, air handling equipment and unitary air- conditioning equipment
installs flexible duct systems and air terminal devices
may install non-flammable medical gas systems
may carry out basic commissioning of air and water systems
may install thermal or acoustic insulation materials to ducting, piping or air handling equipment
may carry out leak testing of duct systems
may carry out maintenance of mechanical services and airconditioning equipment


all this is taught on certificate 3 in plumbing here but plumbing board does not issue licences for it.

so we are stuck, no one can help us.

IN uK he was classed as heating engineer or pipe fitter welder.

Hi,

My partner is here under this trade, but he's a Duct installer! He doe's all the installing/fitting of the big stuff. There's not as much work as there was, but he's just managed to get with a big company. He has a list of companies, but they're all based here on the Gold Coast. I can ask him if he knows of any firms your way?

Mandy

Hi
he doesnt need a licence, because he has nothing to do with the electrical /fridge or piping side of things. He just fabricates/installs sheet metal ducting from the unit. He says message us your number and he'll chat with your husband.
