[royslaven]

Only early days yet, but looking to get a start in the next few months, am an industrial painter/blaster, (my old supervisor is super over there now, so am on the waiting list for when work ramps up) currently work on the QCLNG gas pipeline. Let me know what you think of it, cheers, roy

[Schulzy]

Yeah the leccys I know call it Alcatraz lol but it is meant to be good

[royslaven]

If you work these kind of jobs you expect that,afterall ,you do it for the money, not the lifestyle ha ha, gorgon is a similar setup and they have a high turnover, but that,s the way it is...people think fifo work is glamorous ha... yeah right, cheers, roy

[Schulzy]

Haha it's Bechtel site (cavel ridge)there is different rules for mining and construction. I'm only going for the money not the lifestyle. Want to get a 6.1 galeforce gotta get the cash for it some how

[neil_stessco]

Caval Ridge and Daunia aren't that bad, I've worked mining for 10 years both civil and mining sides of the operation as a fitter. You get used to it, I've made it my lifestyle, don't put it out there your only in it for the money, only my $.02cents

[Schulzy]

I realise it is not all about the MONEY I have worked in the same place for 5 years and I want a change the money is a bonus it is hard to save to buy 5 acres and build a house on work shop wages when you are renting

[tunaticer]

I now avoid Bechtel at all costs. I will never let work for them enter my workshop again.

I was on the APLNG site up until the end of October. It's not a bad set up at all. The ferries are good to the mainland but going out on the town for a few coldies sucks the big one.

[Schulzy]

Why's that mate^^

[Lovey80]

Imagine going out on the town for a big one and you find the sausage fest of all sausage fests and what women are there rate themselves about 4 notches higher than they really are. .

[Schulzy]

Haha no good I won't be delving into that experience ill save my money

[astro66]

lol lovey that is so true....bechtels job is to make the job as hard and costly as humanly possable for the subbies......someone told me they might not be running caval well that sucks...
