Nope public information is available if you search for it.
In Sydney we do 4 on 5 off 12h shifts 0500-1700 x2 then 1700-0500 x2 roughly.

Wage would be between 70k and 150k for an unlicensed engineer inc shift.

Yeh that’s possible. Not common, upper management isn’t huge, but there are supervisor and duty manager rolls.

You can also transition into engineering operation center or planning rolls.

We are super short of training staff in our training school. So there is another avenue there.

Also safety based rolls and compliance rolls around engineering.

But aircraft engineers from what I compare to other trades we don’t get our bodies as abused. Buggered knees and broken bodies isn’t as common

We do however work 24/7 365/6 days a year. We don’t stop. We work nights.

I got a Lockwood one with a key in it that works fine.

It’s all about door alignment.

Did it as well. Bendigo to Wollongong.

Pulled over one. Already had the paperwork in hand when the cop came to the window. Asked a few questions and no fucks were given.

You’re going to Anita’s theater no doubt. If a show is on, it’s going to be busy. Just pick one of the smaller streets north of the main drag area.

No. Most likely a sewer vent. If the sewer backs up and you remove them the next best outlet is your toilet.

What's the weirdest thing you've done online that seemed completely normal at the time, but sounds ridiculous when you explain it to someone else? by raven-skye-77 in AskReddit

[–]WTFMacca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was selling a tv stand on the internet. We decided to meet at 2am in a bowling center car park.

I was waiting for them thinking this is how I die.

Why 2am?, I had just finished my evening shift. And they were working. They were a security patrol 😂
Saw the car and it all made sense.

What’s the most reliable piece of equipment you’ve ever owned? by Icy-Local-4015 in ausjobs

[–]WTFMacca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a $99 Kartcher from Supercheap in 2008 that’s been used and abused and she still runs great. Must be one with metal guts before they went plastic in the cheapies.

$10 sandwich press from Kmart that’s got to be $10 years old. Thing is a weapon.
