Hey Guys ive just recently been part of this forum and jut purchased my first ap1.
I've noticed the community of s2ki is nothing but the best, very proud to be a member.
I'm in need of a hand from you guys.
I am a 2nd year turning 3rd very soon electrical apprentice.
Under certain circumstances I have decided to look for another company.
main reasons being my pay is constantly behind 2-3 weeks, hasnt paid my super and working overtime and not getting paid for it.
I've looked everywhere sent my resume everywhere and still no luck.
Hopefully some of you guys are electricians and could help me out of point me in the right direction.
thanks people.

btw im from Melbourne.

Bechtell up at gladstone are doing half apprenticeships on the LNG job. If you have completed 2 or more years of a apprenticeship then they will consider you as they can fast track it. Only speed bump will be you will have to pay for flights to brisbane. They will get your flights from brisbane to gladstone and i think the roster is 4-1. if you dont mind being away from home and like money, i would look into it. Also if you are financial with the ETU ( victorian equivalent) they will sort your issues out.

i would recommend a large company as you will receive the best eba rates and conditions. i work for heyday and we are one of the biggest electrical contractors apart from stowe in nsw, as the bob said the ETU maybe able to steer you in the right direction.best of luck

Shouldn't you be in a Hilux?

If you're studying one day a week and meant to be working four, can't your educational institution help you out at all? They normally can put you onto the right people.
