[ozzyherewecome]

hi my names kev emigrating with my wife and three kids,hopefully be there late 2008,just have quick question for any truck mechanics that are already out there or that are waiting to get out to oz, just want to know what the job market is like,wages and general working conditions in south oz

hi kev
im not in oz but if u look on Job Search - Australian jobs - Job listing - Find a job - CareerOne under logistics you will find hundreds of jobs for mechanics
also there is a mining boon in oz at the mo so loads of jobs for mechanics / fitters in mining look on Australia InfoMine - Mining Intelligence & Technology most job adverts will give u an idea of conditions and wages , most mining jobs are 2weeks on 1 week off
hope this helps cheers keily ...

Hiya hubby is a diesel mechanic but not so much on the heavy stuff,if you want big money then you should look into the mines,,noone pays like they do but area wise it may not be quite what you wanted,,definately worth a look,,work wise on the Gold Coast ,brisbane area you shouldnt go far wrong ,but cant comment on othere states,,good luck and get all them tools in the hot engine wash before you ship them!
