Howdy,

Just wondering if people know of any places in Adelaide that pay a decent amount of money for casual positions? Like through a labour hire place etc.

I am talking about places that pay over say $16 an hour.

Already know of a couple of places through labour hire, but thought others might know some places pay better than others?

Word of mouth is the best way to find work, so let us know - here or pm - if u know whats out there in Adelaide :pirate:

Doesnt matter where in Adelaide it is either, just metro will do :O

thanks

Integrated I've found pay well.. They are a good bunch of blokes/women and don't get all high and mighty like some other labour higher places I know of.

They also don't come out to where you are working and start nosing around.

I've found they also tend to pay the most. Pay is always over $16. usually $17-18.

Good bunch of ppls, treat them right and they will most definitely look after you.

If you are after full time work Addecco are apparently the ones to go for.

All though I was offered a job at boral; asphalt lab testing and general asphalt surveying after it had been laid. I passed it up due to uni but it was an enjoyable job; quite relaxed, good people and awesome pay.

Addecco is the one i was with last, just didnt like their "on call" jobs where they ring u at a 6:30pm friday arvo and ask if u wanna work...

Unfortunately thats the way all labour hire works as they need people quick to fill a position that some bum has walked out on, that is unless you get a rare advance notice. Out of all the jobs I've had through intergrated the only one that gave me a week notice was the boral asphalt job.

schefenacker seems to go thru a lot of people and they rates here are preety good ( i work here), give the hr department a call and they will put you thru to the respective labour hire mobs.... and there are new projects starting very soon like next week or two... so should be plenty of work....

Darren,

How long ago was it u were with Addecco? They have recently (last year or 2) moved from the temp/casual type work to only full time type work.

Reason I know this is I had heard good things about them regarding how much work they have going that tends to lead on to full time permanent work. I went to register with them but they wouldn't accept me as I was a student and they said they only accept people who are able to work full time as the positions they offer are full time only.

So really I was wrong saying most labour hire as thats simply not correct. There appears to be two main types of labour hire, small position filling type work to full time positions.

Integrated is good but they 80% of the time don't offer full time work that goes for longer than a couple of months.

thanks, will call em and see what the deal is.

cubes, i was with them at the end of last year, so not too long ago. Ill ring em agiain to see what thy have now though. They didnt have too much besides what i was doing at the time....

Im not really fussy if its full time or not, just need ongoing work, so if full time dont work out it doesnt matter.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
