Mechanical Design Engineer Required (Perth)

[Goochie]

I came to Australia in 2012 having received a lot of help from members of this forum. I love it here and the company I work for as Engineering Manager is looking to expand but we're really struggling to find a suitable Mechanical Design Engineer. We have previously employed people on a 457 Visa and may do so again (or the current equivalent of a 457)
