hi,
thats my first post on board, i am 28 years old , not deck officer but engine room engineer, but i have found this topic very helpful with plenty informations..
last 6 years i'v been working offshore from engine cadet through 3rd/2nd eng. 5 years experience like 3rd eng/2nd eng. Holding C/E unlimited, all industry courses(bosiet, dp maintenance etc...), experience on DSV, floatels, pipelaying, ahts,psv all dp2/dp3.
1. How are my chances to get a job now in engine room? I know times are tough but I would consider even yacht, ferry, tug jobs, or even some shore side position.
2. I am not going through skilled migration, but on partner visa, my miss is on process to get sponsored visa and I will be connnected to her applications, with full rights to work in australia,
and my question is if companies want AMSA ticket strictly or my international ticket will be enough? I was thinking only about doing local medical examinations, anyway i cannot doing AMSA assesment because i am holding european C/E unlimited but my country is not on AMSA list, but i have few friends working there on 457 visas, so looks like it possible....?
Cheers
MArtin
