Help appreciated..........

[Guest Jason Abz]

Hi guys, sorry to pester you but i have posted a small note in the wasteland section regarding my plans to move to australia and seeing as it looks like i will be staying at a pad owned by my partners in-laws, i thought i wuld drop you all a note in the area. Not a sponger, just til i find my feet then move into my own place with the better half.

I am looking for contacts in the comms world or any agencies you could suggest. I currently work for Shell IT on the oil rigs and gas plants in Scotland looking after all aspects of comms from data/voice to marine radio, LOS and at comms along with PA systems etc. I have also built a radio and tv station in Bosnia when i was serving with the Royal signals.

Dont expect anyone here to offer me a job however if anyone has any info regarding contacts etc i would be most appreciative. Christ, i will even pull cables just to get my foot in the oor or work in an IT support dept or something!!

Thanking you in advance for any help plus hopefully meet up with some of you in the not too distant future as i wont be taking the cr with me..........but will certainly buy in Australia if everything goes to plan :D

it jobs are somewhat hard to get hold of in aus i believe

seems everyone goes through school and uni wanting to work in IT and then theres too many people for the number of jobs,

ur experience would help you greatly id say.

there are a couple of job search sites for employment in aust that you could try

ill get the links and post em in here when i find em, they are writtin down round here somewhere.

bringin ya 32 out with you as well?

[Guest Jason Abz]

any help appreciated. As i said, i really dont want to work on the `IT` side and would prefer hands on telecomms in a maintenance or installation role.

No, not taking the 32, its just not financially feasable or possible, hoping to pick up a new car once i`m setled.

what type of comms work are you doing.Install like cat 5 and cat 6 wiring or are you dealing with programming.To me it sounds like your a tradesman /tech looking for communications work as in install.If your moving to Brisbane email or pm me i can help u out

[Guest Jason Abz]

Yes, not interested in programming.

Installs, commisioning , maintenance, anything to get my hands dirty although i can configure routers,mux and PABX. Beggers cant be choosers i know but no point in being stuck in an office as netwrok tech when i would have no intensions of staying , if you know what i mean.

Will speak with the missus and get back to you. What have you in mind, a project you are involved with or something?? Cat5 /fibre , no problem .etc etc.
