Are you a UK tradie seeking to work in the Australian Resource Sector?

Attractings tradies (Electricians, Plumbers, Carpenters etc) is becoming a major problem for Australian and New Zealand businesses and the problem is only going to get worse.

It has been estimated that over 30,000 tradespeople will be needed to participate in the rebuilding of Christchurch alone following the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. Add to this the demand for Tradies in the Australian resource sector and the Queensland flood rebuild, it is easy to understand why Australian & NZ companies are now looking oversees to fill these positions.

Now for the good news, with the downturn in the UK and Irish economies, more skilled people are seeking new opportunities in Australia and New Zealand. With more that 140,000 skilled experienced candidates projected to leave the UK and Ireland before the end of 2012, now is an ideal time to recruit talented and experienced people from the UK and Ireland.

To connect Australian and NZ companies with skilled labour, National Australia Bank and BNZ, through their SkilledMigrantJobs business are running two dedicated Tradies Expos in the UK (The events will run over the weekends of April 21-22 and 28-29 in London and Birmingham.)

The event will be aimed purely at UK trades people who are interested in a career and new life in Australia or New Zealand. The information provided to the attendees will be industry specific and will focus on training, regulations, as well as career opportunities for them - directly from key industry people.

If you are interested in utilising this event to recruit your future Tradies, please contact Laura Bracken on +61 3 86342038 or mobile 0467722015 to find out more details.
