painter & decorator work in Adelaide

Hi there,

Looking for some advice from all you lovely knowledgable people. Just had my husband's positive skills assessment back from tra & looking at different regions. We quite like Adelaide as it seems nice family place as we'll have 3 young dd's. Is there work opportunities for painter & decorator in Adelaide & what kind of wage should we expect. Does anyone know of recruitment agency for painters & decorators? Got our medicals arranged for 7th November & would really like to have decided what state we're going to before then. Also been thinking of Darwin but know that NT a lot more harsh & unforgiving.

Thanks

Karen & Alex

You could search on www.seek.com.au and see what jobs come up in your husband's field. (And look on www.domain.com.au for homes to rent/buy.)

Someone on the 'Poms in Adelaide' forum is looking for a painter right now. worth asking them I suppose.

good luck.

thanks for replies. Keith & Linda applied for job on other website & wanted to know where we in the visa process (just about ti submit EOI) & not heard anything back from them x

My fiance and I are in the same boat just now - we are still undecided on which location to ove and have thought about Adelaide due to a potential job offer there.

He is a painter to trade but is in the management side now and I googled painting and construction companies and fired his CV out to them - most are really good and will come back and advise if they have any positions available. Also if you use the aus job boards they can help yolu get a ball park figure on salaries. I did a salary survey this week but didn't look at painting jobs cos we are hoping he will go straight into a management position - I'm thinking I may need to do that so at least we are prepared if his dream job doesnt materialise straight away lol
