thompsons1977 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hi We are due to arrive at the end of Nov. Hubby is an Electrician so will hopefully have options when he arrives, although I know it's not easy getting a job!! I have 19 years experience working for the UK Government. I've worked my notice and am now looking for similar work when we arrive in Australia. Can anyone help or suggest where I might look for jobs like this?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancelot1937 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I'd guess constuction sites are the option for hubby but he'll need to qualify first and take exams. Which are will you live in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Te main job sites are indeed.com.au and seek.com.au however, local and state government roles are hard to get as there is strong competition and government cuts including redundancies at the moment.

thompsons1977 Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Thanks. Hubby has done Vetessess and will get his licence when he gets there. Hadn't realised local & state gov jobs were at a premium !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxboz Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 This is the link to government jobs http://search.jobs.wa.gov.au/page.php?pageID=215 Federal government unfortunately put hiring freeze on recruitment earlier this year. State government have just lifted their recruitment freeze I think (been on and off this year). Wont be much going in local government as most will be amalgamating shortly. Good luck!

verystormy Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Also, he needs to ensure he researches what will be required to obtain his licence. It isn't straight forward. He will need to work as a trade assistant for a while as his current qualifications and experience don't mean much. So it is a bit like going back to being an apprentice. It takes some time to gain his licence - there are some threads on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
