Job career change

[Guest tracey trehearn]

hello all,

 

This is my first post as we had decided not to go to Oz after visiting an emigration show. The problem is that although I am a nurse and should be ok with a job, my husband has been having a lot of trouble getting any answers about work for him in Brisbane/ Perth areas.

 

He is a design engineer and uses computers to design gas fires and the technical drawings that go with them. His background is in production engineering, steel manufacture and welding. No-one at the show seemed able to tell us if there was any industry in these areas or even a website that could help.

 

If anyone has any websites or advice in general I'd be really grateful and I don't want to give up on Oz just yet- been dreaming of it for the last 20 years!

 

Thanks all.

Hi Tracy and welcome to the board - Just a wee baby at two weeks old!

 

I too am an engineer and will hopefully moving to Perth in Sept (Fingers and legs crossed!). I found a couple of really good websites when I first started looking at jobs.

The best by far was

 

http://www.seek.com.au - oodles and oodles of engineering/design jobs but there is also

http://www.monster.com.au.

 

Another good place to look would be the Australian Engineering Institute. Don't know there web address but googling it should find it!

 

Hope this helps
