Hey,
Was wondering if any of you friendly kiters might be looking for a general labourer/manual worker for the next 6 months? Been looking for work around Melbourne but finding it a bit tough. Any work would do really!
Here's hoping.
Thanks
Sean
Well, you see there's the thing. My background for the past 13 years has been in architecture, designing and detailing new housing and industrial/offices and running it on site. But, I wouldn't be your typical architect.
I've worked on a couple of house renovations, I can do a bit of carpentry, 1st fix stud work etc 2nd fix architraves, skirting, doors, ironmongery. Laid a few solid oak floors too. Have done a spot of dry lining and small amount of electrics and plumbing, but none of this is formally for a company. Basically my father is a chippy and taught me a few things over the years.
I think I am pretty flexible, good problem solver, can turn my hand to most things. Also replaced a few engines in cars, head gaskets etc as well as your usual wear and tear items like suspension, brakes, starter motors and all that.
Not afraid of hard work, I'm fit and healthy and a Paddy so if you want me to dig some holes, sure I could!
Probably should have put this in the original post. Anyway, if anyone can help, or put me in touch with someone, I'd be stoked. I find its always easier to get work through people you know, but when you don't know nopeople.........
Pm me you're details no work at the moment but may have some coming up
Are you going to be upset when the wind picks up and I dissapear
I know of another Paddy similar to yourself, he started working with one of melbourne biggest generator mobs. Taking gennys to site, hook up, general help etc... I wont mention company names but do a search & make some calls
And you get to travel a bit so you get to see the sights!
Seamus: You sound like you have a great set of skills in a number of different areas and might actually have some common sense!
Common Sense is not actually that common in this day and age so I'd certainly give you a go if I had an opportunity here (Sunny Coast) for you but I'm sorry I don't.
Good luck with it mate!
Thanks guys for the info, will im you winter, but I won't get too offended if you leave when the wind picks up!
Gateman, cheers for the comments, after not getting any success no matter what job I apply for and who I go and speak to at the site/bar/restaurant/factory etc it does make you start to wonder if you've got any employable skills at all. Especially when you see some of the peeps who do have a job and always look like they can't be arsed and are in a world of their own!
Got to keep plugging away though.
Thanks guys

Hi Guys,
We're booked solid with work again and are looking for some more guys.
We import and convert Chevy, GMC, Hummer, Dodge and Cadillac from the US. Working on 550hp diesel pick ups, supercharged Camaros and Cadillac's this is a unique opportunity to work on some amazing vehicles.
A very clean shop fully equipped with the latest gear located in Rowville. On the job training provided on model specific items.
We're looking for the following candidates to fill the following full time positions:
- Body shop, looking for an all rounder with a focus more on paint than body repair. We do not do any structural work, mostly hang on panels, hard lids, flares and canopies with some restoration work added to the mix. Previous experience is essential.
- Mechanical, looking for a qualified motor mechanic to work in our Service Department. We specialize in late model (2000+ model vehicles) leaning more towards 2007+. Electronic experience is required however model specific training and the use of the Tech2 scan tool is provided on the job. Qualification is required as is a current drivers license.
- Fitter, looking for someone with basic mechanical knowledge to work as an accessory fitter. While the candidate does not require formal qualification you will need to know your way around a car and how to use common tools while following instruction and using common sense.
Please contact Steve or James on 03 9765 1300
Thanks Juggler.
Spoke to them and sent off my cv with bit of background on what I can do. Offered to do a a half day trial so that they can see I know my way round a car as the CV is all architecture. Fingers crossed. Thanks again for the lead.
Hi Seamus,
I will be looking for a labourer at the start of march, for 2 extensions I will be building in Brunswick. Do you have your construction industry induction card (White card, Red card)?
