Hi Brian, I worked for British Gas for 12 years as a service and repair engineer on appliances, applied for a skilled 190 visa under the code for gas fitter. We are in Sydney in NSW, however there is only seasonal work (3-4 months) with gas fires, duct heaters etc. Hardly anyone has central heating as it's too hot....I've managed to get a job with a local plumbing and heating firm, but your correct I'll mainly be doing plumbing with I've not much experience in (bathrooms etc).....being honest I don't know what everyone is having problems. We applied for EOI I'm February 2017, sent off evidence got TRA (work evidence-qualifications etc) in March, had invite for visa in may and filled and sent everything over and it was granted on August 11st. We've been here since 5th November and would deffo recommend it...
