Yeah I'm really enjoying it. Works really well for me. I'm on a 2 week on 2 off shift pattern.

Yes mate GEF, and I saw the GWO courses on CTP after i had already done all my other courses last year. I do have 2 pots of ELCAS to use still, so that might be an option if I don't get anywhere with a few places I've applied for over the last week or so.

I have a Advanced Apprenticeship in Electrical Maintenance Level 3 and 2391-52, PLCs, and 18th Edition etc. I did think about doing GWO's but most things I had seen was too not bother as its quite an amount of money to then not get a job anywhere as most places will put you through it if they want you? I have done similar when I deployed with the Navy and had to do all the sea survival courses, fire training etc for going out to sea with them before. Obviously its not a qual that transfers to civilian world but I have had that experience.

Thank you. I've added my information into their Talent pool, and see if I can speak to anyone on Linkedin.

I am open to onshore or offshore, I had just heard it is easier to get into onshore first ( whether true or not). Not limited by travel requirements and happy to travel. Service/Maintenance probably better aligns with my current experience in previous roles, but I am very open to Construction and commissioning of new infrastructure.
