To all pipefitter in australia please read.

Currently on a working holiday visa (417)

 

I'm wondering if with the right company and sponsorship was an option I could void the visa as it's not the best to find work.

I am 26 with 5 years experience as a tradesman/supervisor at cammell laird shipyard in the UK

First, you need to check border.gov.au to see if your occupation is still on one of the lists of occupations eligible.

 

Then all you can do if you want sponsorship is to apply for jobs. However, you should be aware this is normally just a temporary visa and is tied to the employer.

 

seek.com.au is the main job site. However, you should be aware WA is in recession at the moment

I've searched seek and indeed but always come up short. My occupation was pipefitter at home but it's not clear here. I'm not sure if it is pipefitter or mechanical plumber. Most pipefitter jobs require you to be a welder too which is strange.

Thanks for the advice.
