moven Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 He should be ok...Although may need to go the FIFO route...as scaffolders are in demand up there. You could sign up for the digital version of the paper "The West Australian" Saturdays edition seems to carry the job adverts. Seek.com.au only showing 3 positions for a scaffolder in WA, all based in Port Hedland though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunbeam Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Thanks for the reply moven. That's what I came up with. Fifo at a push but not ideal as would mean living apart not the best start to big move : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genghis Khan Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I got chatting to a kiwi scaffolder down at Garden Island Naval base in Sydney. He was working for a British company over in WA on one of the big Liquid Natural Gas projects over near Port Hedland or the like on NW of Western Australia. He said this mob had a load of British scaffolders doing work suspended scaffolding on jetties. Sounded a good deal, it was FIFO, live in a compound with a couple of pubs, own room and Foxtel, accomodation and food paid for. Good money, over $2,000 take home per week. You're not spending much either. He said he was paying more in tax over there than he took home in Sydney. So my advice is get into those big resources companies!
