Sponsorships in perth, wa

MJM · Apr 11, 2012

Im looking for a company to sponsor me in perth, wa. Ive been a scaff for 10yrs and love it but want to emigrate to australia to give my family the life they deserve. Any advise or contacts would be much appreciated

You could try Capes but generally they only sponsor senior management or someone with a relative who is high up with them in the UK.
Best bet may be caledonian in SA and then move once you are sorted.

MJM · Apr 11, 2012

Thanks for that, saft aint it you can walk out of one job and straight into another here in the uk.

You have lost me there mate.

MJM,

HSWT is right Caledonia have a labour/immigration agreement in Adelaide to bring in experienced scaffolders.

457 visa applicants must have management experience to be approved for sponsorship and be employed in that role when they get to Australia.

Unions are getting very noisy on companies bringinging in foreign labour and that has tightened up scaffolders being awarded 457's as scaffolding is not on the "list" as an area that may have skill shortages in Australia.

That's true bout caledonia but any company can sponsor in Perth as WA as a whole is classed as regional work,and as such you don't need to be in management or a specific role if a company wants you they'll sponsor you.

You can try the 857 visa route, but as HSWT said, best to have Supervisory experience at least

Yeah bro Caledonia are the only ones with a labour agreement, they are also based in Perth now.

Caledonia can sponsor and apparently Celtic can.... They're taking on now for henderson and Barrow Island.

Boman · Sep 11, 2012

Ye Caledonia can, but not celtic

Havespannerwilltravel · Sep 11, 2012

But they can all employ the guys on young persons work visas for a limited period.

Boman · Sep 11, 2012

Have Spanners

do you mean working holiday or 2 year sponsorships that cannot be extended afterwards?

there's a lot of different classes of visas and I bet the blokes arent totally sure of the conditions

Havespannerwilltravel · Sep 11, 2012

We had a couple of Brits who were on the working holiday visa who worked for us but had to change employers after 6 months if i remember correctly.

Boman · Sep 11, 2012

417/working holiday = 6 months with 1 company unless you apply and get a 1 year extension for working in remote areas, like Thornlie! then you can work for the same boss for another 6 months, me thinks.

Havespannerwilltravel · Sep 11, 2012

Think you are spot on there. Anyone wanting to work overseas should check out the visa and entry requirements etc. Its very easy to do online these days.
Hows Perth warming up a bit now?

Boman · Sep 11, 2012

Not yet mate, still bluey weather

mancunian member · Sep 11, 2012

Not been in Perth all that long so still just trying to find my feet Boman. Just missed out on henderson with Caledonia so I'm looking to go elsewhere but haven't got a clue who the big boys are for industrial work... Any ideas or contacts would be a massive help mate

Havespannerwilltravel · Sep 11, 2012

Transfield, MAS and Cape are the big players.

mancunian member · Sep 11, 2012

Cheers mate, I'm also hearing Monadelphus banded about and BHP! I had thought about cape, better the devil you know like but they seem like a nightmare to get on with.
