Hello i've been offered a job in perth working as a project engineer for AGC , does anyone know anything about them? cheers.

They are a good sized engineering/construction company with a steel fabrication plant too. As they're part of Aus Group, they have the backing of a major player.
They're busy enough at the moment too (same as every eng company here I think) so there shouldn't be a shortage of work.
They've an office in Perth city but their fabrictaion plant is in Kwinana, do you know where you'll be based?

Ah thx I will be based in Kwinana ,do you happen to know if its common working practice to start the job at a much lower payscale , then moved up after 3 months? Or is that just if your coming frm the uk?.....Id appreciate any info , cheers.

Oh I not too sure? I know I'm on a lower payscale but then I get the LAFHA allowance so that could be why? I'm only in my job 3months so wouldn't be expecting anything yet
