hinnchcsa Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hello, We are currently going through the migration process and should have a permanant visa in the next 6 months. My husband is a Process Engineer in the water industry. He has 12 years experience and has held many roles within his company. He also has a BTEC National Diploma and NVQ. Does anybody have any experince of this sector in W.A. and could advise how likely it would be for him to find employment. He is prepared to F.I.F.O. to give us the best opportunity to afford Oz living. He has a friend that works on Barrow Island for the Monos, but hasn't been able to open any doors for employment. We are planning on moving to Perth by the end of the year. Thank you very much, Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danuty2002 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hello Sarah. I am an Environmental Engineer and I currently work in water industry (water management), but in my own country. I also hope to get the visa (189) in the next 3-4 months and relocate to Perth. I will watch with high interest this topic because I am eager to find the same answers. Maybe someone more experienced will help us. All the best, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hinnchcsa Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks for the replies. As my wife mentioned, I've 12 years experience working for Yorkshire Water as a Process Engineer. My workload includes running the day to day activities on water treatment works, with many different processes and commisioning new projects on the sites. My main concern is it looks extremely difficult to gain employment in this sector. I've emailed my CV to companies and not heard anything back. I would ideally like a F.I.F.O. job for a large project, like the Gorgon project or similar. Mushahid, do you know if my skills and experience could gain me employment in the Middle East. Any advise would be much apprecited. John, looks like we work in similar environments. Any info. you could pass on would be greatly appreciated, and I'll do the same. All the best to you both.

danuty2002 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I've read that it is very difficult to get a response when somebody applies for a job and doesn't have an address and a tel no from oz. I would really want to find myself a job in water and wastewater treatment, water management and so on. I am sure you've tried seek.com.au right? I also send my cv to recruitment firms but nothing. Hopefully we'll find something when we land there. Keep in touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinnchcsa Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi John, Yes been on seek.com.au, but I feel until I have the permanant visa through, companies not really interested. As I mentioned earlier, looks like we are looking for work in the same field, so i'll keep you informed if I get any relevant info. Thanks, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danuty2002 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hy Mushahid, Any news about finding a job? Have you secured a job or did you started your own consultancy firm? All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraighttothePoint Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Three folk on one thread all looking for similar jobs. I fear competition may be stiff...... Perhaps sharing information on opportunities is not the way to go here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingin Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hi Sarah/Ian, Any further news? I'm also an ex YW employee and living in Perth - trying as we speak to find a job related to the water industry. Not been successful yet but gained lots of experience through applying and meeting people at various companies. It takes time, be patient and getting to know people in the companies you want to work for will definitiely help.
