Hey Pete, I haven't got a recruiter though if you know a good one I appreciate the recommendation? I moved from the UK in March. Since my post I've managed to find a permanent position (though it still isn't exactly what I would like) after about 6 week of arriving but it is pretty slow going up here. We specifically wanted to move to Sydney but if I was just here for the work it does appear like there's more activity in NZ. It obviously covers a lot but I specifically meant transport (rail/road), utilities and anything works supporting them.

Thanks for the tip Kennylane; I didn't end up going for it but it's really handy to know for future reference while I find my feet.

Hi All, Just a quick brief; I am a QS with over 7 years experience mainly in infrastructure, and have just moved to Sydney (landed a week ago). I have an 2nd interview for a construction consultancy firm (in infrastructure) on Friday (today is Tuesday) and I've just had a call to query if I would consider taking a Contract/Freelance position, to which I said I would look into it and discuss this further on Friday. I was initially looking for a permanent position but since I have just moved and I am looking for work, I may take this until something comes up. Does anyone know what is the going rate per hour is if I were to take a freelance role instead of permanent? Any thoughts or advice on the matter, including the rates are appreciated.
