Guest LadyW Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Well the carpenter situation in Perth seem useless even though they are building everywhere. My husband has tried every website, construction site and phone number known to man and still nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanya24 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hi Lisa, i notice it's been a while since you last was on here, just wanted to check how long it took your husband to find work where you are (Perth)? My OH is also a carpenter and worried that it might take a while for him as well. Also what channel did he had to go through to get work??

I arrived in October and found work the day after I arrived. tons and tons of work happening. I would recommend moving NOR as most of the work is there or in the city. loads of company's in wangara. If you want to work you will find it no problem. lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanya24 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Wow Lee, that was very quick! but we would like to be living more the Secret harbour or the Baldivis area, would where you say gonna be too far to commute? or would we def have to live more that end. Hoping my OH will be as lucky as you in finding work and maybe you could line him up when time comes Tan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan999 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Hi Lee mind if I join in on this. I'm looking to come over in the summer (June/July). I'm a carpenter and again the same as everyone else just wondered what the state of play is regarding work, if there's enough for everyone, and also what of the "impending economic crash" I keep reading about. Do you think there's any truth to it or is just economists sticking their opinion on websites everywhere. Any info greatly appreciated! Cheers.

Guest lisarich Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hi, We are also coming over in July to the baldivis area hopefully and my husband is a carpenter also with 10+ years experience. If you hear of anything or have any contacts we would also be very grateful. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
