Looking Jobs in Perth, Wetern Australia in MIning and/or HEalth, Safety and Environment (HSE)?

Question

Can someone tell me if it is fairly easy or not to get a job in W.A in Health-Safety-Environment positions (HSE) or perhaps mining industry (with little or no experience). I am coming to look for work in hopes of getting sponsored for a work visa.

My status is U.S citizen with international qualifications and background; teritiary qualifications as well as a wide range of experiece. Where might be my best chances for success and luck in a job search in Oz? I like anything that has to do with Geography and the Environment.

Answer 1

My husband is a Driller in the gold and nickel mines in Western Australia and he started this job four years ago with no experience. There are jobs here for environmentalists, health and safety people and mining crew. jobs are nearly always available as a lot of people come here but dont like the isolation or being away from family and leave. my husbands company is also in the US and Asia so you could start with contacting them. The company is called Boart Longyear (am I allowed to post that???), try calling them in US first to get Aussie details. Good luck.
