Hi all were moving to perth round about sept/oct time. Myself has already been sponsored by hospital out there going through 457 visa. OH is a welder to trade. What does he have to do prior to leaving scotland that will enable him to continue with his trade/job on arrival. Anyone looking for welders out there!!!!

As long as visa allows him to work over here then all he will need is a cv plenty of welding jobs out here mostly south of river. what kind of welding can he do

All the places on the Kwinana Industrial strip will need welders on shutdowns..Just get out here and you will get a job.. Suzette and Will

Sorry for delay in answering just back from my holidays to gran canaria.
Hubby (welder) does mig, stick, flux core has shipyard, pressure vessels, oil rig heavy and light fabrication experience. Will he have to do a trade test on arrival in perth? He will be able to work on my visa as i am tavelling on a 457 looking for PR on arrival

I'm not in the know exactly but think they call them boilermakers over here.

My OH is a welder and he seems to be doing a lot of flux core work at the moment along with MIG, TIG etc. As previously stated there are always positions coming up in the Kwinana Industrial area. Also there are a few of the mines up north doing FIFO if hes interested in that.
Any other information I can help with just yell and I (sorry OH) will try and help out.

Lynne

Sorry for my ignorance but what is FIFO and tell me why are you moving back to Durham?

Fly in fly out

thanks for that

As Bix said its fly in fly out.
Heading back as the OH hasn't settled (unfortunately for me) cause I love it.

My friend's huuby is a welder and works in Kwinana. He does nights and earns decent money.

only weld tests for jobs he applies for as in uk.some of the better jobs are through agencies

Does he have to go through the TRA that i read about on this website or is that for 1st class welders only. what is the difference between a 1st and 2nd class welder apart from the amount they can earn

If he wants to be a welder he will have to go through the TRA process.

he will not have to go through any process i came over on wife"s visa got tax file number and started work as a welder within two weeks that was in nov 06 first class welders are those who are or have been coded second class those who have watched someone weld maybe! some poor welders out here due to shortage in man power if hes done what you say- no probs.
