Hubby has been offered a concrete testing job? Is the money good? any info?

Question

He has been offered a job testing concrete. They will give him all the training and i think even a certificate at the end. It sounds quite good. Does anyone know what the pay is like in australia for this kind of job? What are the pros and cons? i am just trying to understand as much as i can about the job. Thanks

Answer 1

in australia at the moment there is an econonmic boom. jobs, especially in the building and mining industries, are getting larger pays.

im not sure about pros and cons but the pay should be around the $(Aus) 50 000 mark

Answer 2

I dont know about pay in Australia, but I do this type of work in the states.  This job can open many doors to all types of testing, not just concrete.  I started to test concrete, and moved onto to working at other companies, I increased my knowledge and salary to greater levels.  I work for the government now, and am set financially.  Pros = technical job, more opportunities available.  Cons = heavy lifting sometimes, outside work, dangerous environments sometimes.
