Hi All,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post.
I am living in Perth, WA and trying to find electrical work to gain the "A grade electrical licence".
I hold a provisional electrical licence and require "gap training" before I am allowed to take the required capstone exam.
I have been in Perth for almost 5 years. I tried to get a job when I first arrived with no luck. As a result of this I started working international in the oil & Gas. I am now trying again and facing the same problems I did 5 years ago. I have pretty much applied to every company, agency and rope access company with only one company offering me a start, unfortunately he didn't want to pay me.
Unfortunately most companies in WA are not aware of the process for a overseas electrician to gain an Australian electrical license and have no interest in employing a overseas qualified electrician. They simply prefer to employ a Australian qualified electrician or an apprentice.
I have done some Australian courses and licences such as
EEHA, High risk work, MSIC, White card
If anyone can help with regards contacts etc it will be greatly appreciated.
