Same as everyone else...what company...if any. What recruiter...if any. How long did the whole process take? How long is the contract? Are you housed on a military base? The more I hear...the more questions I might ask...LOL

If you want to work/live in Australia there are 2 routes:
1) find an employer willing to sponsor you. They will typically sponsor you under a 457 visa which is a temporary 4 year work visa. Under this visa you are allowed to take your family. The 457 visa application takes approximately 6 weeks. Under this visa you have most rights as an Australian citizen. After 4 years you must leave the country.
2) apply for a permanent visa. Application processing takes from 6 months to a year. Full rights as a citizen.
If you are looking for a quick fix to your current working/living situation then Australia is not for you. If you have long term goals then Australia might be a good selection. There is big money to be made doing the fly-in, fly-out on major industrial projects. The government allows easy migration to help facilate a resource boom and lack of skilled workers that has been going on for the last 5 years. The current global financial crisis has curtailed granting of visa, but they are still easily approving them. Many Australian companies recruit overseas for tradesmen, mostly from the UK and southeast Asia. But, I am living prove they recruit in the US also. There are a few Americans on the job I am on now.
I previously listed a few construction companies. Do a google search and others will pop up. Hayes is the biggest recruitment company, but you can google and get others. I also previuosly listed 2 major websites for craft job listings and newspapers.

Gorgon Natural Gas Project Will Loom Large Off Australia
Houston ChronicleSeptember 15, 2009
In the world of big oil and gas industry projects, Gorgon will be a monster.
The $37 billion project to turn Indian Ocean natural gas into super-chilled liquefied natural gas for export via tankers is billions more than the estimated price of a planned pipeline project to bring natural gas from the North Slope of Alaska to the Lower 48.
And the addition of equipment to capture and store underground thousands of tons of carbon dioxide related to the processing will make it one of the largest CO2 projects in the world.
"Outside of Qatar, nobody has ever developed an LNG project of this scale in one go," said Frank Harris, head of global LNG consulting for Wood Mackenzie.
Prep work on the site will begin immediately with full construction expected to begin in February. First gas is expected in 2014.
The project will include pipelines bringing natural gas from subsea wells as far as 124 miles off the shore of Barrow Island, a gas processing plant and three liquefaction "trains" or plants, storage facilities, export terminal and carbon sequestration equipment.
Chevron has a 50 percent stake in the project, while ExxonMobil and Shell each have a 25 percent share.
Houston-based KBR is leading a joint venture that's managing construction of the project. Most of the engineering work has been moved to offices outside Houston, the company said.
Chevron said early development work on Gorgon was in Houston but it too has moved overseas to Australia, Singapore, Great Britain and other countries.
"This is further evidence of the emerging new world order in Asian LNG, where China, rather than Japan, is the kingmaker, having the ability to ensure that new projects happen," Harris said.
Barrow Island is considered environmentally sensitive, so the permitting process has been particularly tough, Stanislaw said. Including the carbon sequestration project was important because it shows the companies recognize a growing desire by the public to reduce the industry's carbon footprint.

Hey John
How hard is it to get work over there? I'm currently unemployed with no luck in the states and will work anywhere. I'm a Field engineer and a NCCER certified carpenter with many certifications and skills. Tell me anything that I may need to know or do to get employment there, I'm willing to travel as far and as needed . Get back with me!

Another multi-billion Australian industrial project:
Apache, Santos Break Ground On WA Gas Hub
by Apache Corp.September 16, 2009
Western Australian Energy Minister, Hon. Peter Collier MLC on Tuesday officiated at the ground breaking of the site of the new Devil Creek Domestic Gas Hub, south of Karratha, Western Australia.
The Devil Creek Development Project (DCDP) is a greenfield domestic gas development project 45 km southwest of Dampier in Western Australia. Apache Energy is operator, with Santos Limited as Joint Venture partner.
John Holland Group Pty Ltd was last month awarded the $160 million contract for construction of the onshore phase of the Project.

Tim, it sounds like you need employment very soon, so I would suggest Australia is not for you. As I said before, Australia is not a "quick fix". But if you plan for the longterm future, Australia may be a choice for you.

CB&I has been awarded a contract valued at approximately US$550 million by Chevron Australia Pty Ltd for the LNG and condensate storage tanks at the Gorgon LNG liquefaction project on Barrow Island in Australia.
CB&I's scope of work includes the engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction of two 180,000 cubic meter full containment LNG tanks, four condensate tanks and the associated piping, electrical, instrumentation and civil works. CB&I's portion of the project is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2013.
"This award, our fourth major LNG project in Australia in the past few years, demonstrates our technical expertise and proven experience in the LNG industry, and capitalizes on CB&I's 75 year history in Australia," said Philip K. Asherman, President and CEO.
The Gorgon Project is a joint venture between the Australian subsidiaries of Chevron (Operator), ExxonMobil and Shell, to develop the Greater Gorgon gas fields, located between 130km and 200km off the northwest coast of Western Australia. The Greater Gorgon gas fields, Australia's largest-known gas resource, contains about 40 trillion cubic feet of gas

John, if at all possible my husband and I would love to get some more endepth information about these jobs if you could possibly email us some information about salary, family travel, per diem?, the start up date and ending dates expected we are really really interested in this we have been talking about going overseas for work for sometime now. We both would love to experience australia and the people. My husband and i love to travel and see and experience new things. Very adventureous people.the only difference now is we have a wonderful daughter hitting her terrible twos. We would like to wait about six months to a year before doing anymore major traveling. that way our daughter is just a little bit older and has a better chance to remember the experience as well. Our email address is lilbillie08@yahoo.com by the way my husband has about 18 years experience in the electrical trade and 7 of them as some sort of foreman or leader of some kind. If that would help on the info you can send us. We would greatly apreciate it thanks again
Loving every minute of it |
