Decent Areas

I'm new to this forum but have just replied to another thread about the area I live in if you look through this site.

I'm a mechanical engineer and can confirm that for all fitters, welders, draughties etc there is planty of work.

You will be site based in your profession and as there is plenty of work at the refineries, chem plants etc along the mouth of the brisbane river cannot recommend Manly, Lota, Wellington point highly enough. If like me you are lucky enough to live here and work at one of those places you will be approx. 10-15mins from door to door.

Enjoy your planning, I know I did.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

 

Hi Ozmate thanks for the info. Im new to this forum to only joined a couple of days before you.Do you know of any company's in the refineries or chemical plants I could email my cv to as i am trying to sort a job before we leave. Ive heard theres a big brewery in brisbane as well, before i went to perth last year id been working in brewerys all over the uk, welding and fitting stainless steel pipe. Im curently working at the new LNG gas terminal west wales. Any info would be great thanks. deano.

Your best bet would be to look on www.careeone.com.au or www.mycareer.com.au and follow the instructions i.e. brisbane and welding.....

You will probably find that most of the posts will be by agencies, in my opinion they are not very good and I wouldn't normally waste my time with them, However they may be a good first step for you.

www.bp.com.au and www.caltex.com.au are two of the large refineries along the river and both have career sections in their websites. Incitec Pivot Ltd and coogee chemicals are two large chem plants also along the river.

As for services companies, you could try Transfield services or Monadelphous, both should have websites.

Good luck Job Hunting
