Australian company seeks 100 Irish construction workers
An Australian company is looking for more than 100 Irish construction foremen and site managers to work on Australia's largest natural gas project.
JobContax will be carrying out interviews in Dublin, London and Manchester over the next few weeks.
The positions on offer come with salaries of more than €140,000 per year, plus flights and four-year working visas.
The 457 visas entitle the holders and their families to live and work in Australia.
In a statement, JobContax said the visas were being offered to Irish and British workers because of the shortage of experienced, skilled construction professionals in Australia.
They estimate that in the next two years, western Australia will need 40,000 more workers to cope with demand from major resource industry projects.
