[Anyone worked in Australia?]

I'm planning a move to Australia next year, specifically Melbourne. 

 

I'm expecting to initially take whatever half decent job I can find but I'll be looking for jobs similar to what I'm currently doing in the UK. I'm a qualified sparky but I've been doing fire, intruder, CCTV and access control for the last seven years for a rather large company.  I'm not keen on going the electrician route as it seems transferring my qualification to Aus is a massive ball ache. 

 

I'm wondering if anyone here has experience working in Aus, from what I can tell they seem to use many bits of kit out there that I've not worked with before. I'm mostly experienced with Menvier, Texecom, Scantronic, Kentec and Gent among others. I'm wondering what are the most popular manufacturers over there so I can familiarise myself with them a bit before I start job hunting out there. I'll be leaving the uk in June next year so I've got plenty of time to study manuals etc. 

 

Thanks! 

I'm in the process of sorting out my visa at the minute but planning to emigrate to Melbourne later this year. Security engineer is on the skills shortage list so Im sure we will have no problems finding work but there are a few licenses we have to get first such as cabling etc. Good luck with it all and let me know how you get on.
