Guest nigel9097 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi, My dream is to move to and work in Australia. I am currently a BT Telecomms Engineer working on optic fibre. I am married have two children one currently at uni and one about to study in the sixth form in the UK. The kids are really keen on the idea and the wife is too. Just started looking in to it and was interested to know if anyone had any pointers where to start. Whats the chances of getting work in Australia? and can anybody recommend any agents that will help in the UK? Regards, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest siamsusie Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hi Nigel Welcome to Poms In Oz. I am enclosing a couple of links ....http://www.alljobs.com.au/find/fibre+optic+jobs+in+australia http://www.indeed.com.au/Fibre-Optic-jobs-in-Australia http://www.australiajobs77.com/q-fibre-optic-jointer-jobs-in-australia Also you could try ..for an assessment.. http://www.migrateaus.com.au/ http://www.gomatilda.com/visas/index.cfm I recommend that you use only Mara registered agents. Any idea which state you would like to reside in? Best wishes Susie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dirk Diggler Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Reckon you'd find yourself a gig on the National Broadband rollout. HQ is in North Sydney. Suggest you go direct, as recruiters here aren't often much help unless you tick ALL the boxes (ie. have PR/citizenship, local experience, and top-of-class qualifications). Employers see recruiters as expensive, unless they bring them someone they couldn't have found otherwise. Safest bet is therefore going direct. A 457 visa is a good way to test Aus out while benefiting from paying a reduced tax bill. Not all employers will sponsor you however. Tends to be bigger outfits, but it's something you'd have to discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scotinaus Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 http://Www.immigration.gov.au is a good place to start to see if your occupation is one in the skills list. You don't always need an agent and will save money if you don't use one. It depends on the type if visa and complexity of your situation though. Good luck! I recommend Melbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
