Firstly, congratulations. A few weeks to secure a perm job is good going surly?

Thank you for responding, its always good to hear of someone else experience, especially a fellow jock!

Are you now working within the Mining and Metals industry? What sector of engineering were you involved with in the UK and how many years experience do you have?

I am currently involved with Highway infrastructure and drainage design and have been for the last 2 years. Are you aware of the Road industry at the moment and the likelihood of temp/contract employment?

I would like to work in Sydney or Brisbane, and perhaps move over to Western Australia once I have experienced the busy city life. This is a 18 month plan for me at the moment and Ill review things then, so id imagine short-term/ contract work will be what I should be applying for.

What is your experience - what did you see and do you have any further advice?

Many thanks
