has anyone done any scaffolding work or know much about it? particularly in the mines? i have a couple of mates with very little experience that have got jobs at some mine up north through someone they know. They are claiming they can make 300K + and want me to go up there with them.im no stranger to hard labour but dont know much else about scaffolding in the mines or scaffolding in general....
You have some very retarded mates.
yeah it is a bit quiet at the moment. some weeks im flat out doing 14 days straight but then i might have up to a weeks gap before the next job starts. Im happy to keep doing what im doing but some quick cash would be nice plus i reckon a change of scenery would be nice.
If you wanted to do something different give it a go, I'd just get a job around town as a nun ticketed labourer do it for a few weeks see if you like it, most of them pay untucked 30/hr, ticketed 32-35, leading hand 40.
Immediate Start !
Must have experience, transport and White Card, various work sites.
With Scaffold Ticket $27.50 +superannuation

$22.50 an hour, ouch! but i'd do it for a bit of experience
I have a scaffolding and rigging ticket, did it for a few years as I hated accounting…interesting change of pace, good money, I used to work shut downs in oil refineries back in 1990, was clearing $1500-1700 per week when average worker was lucky to make $700 per week, work was pretty easy really, but you must be OK with heights, especially when building drop scaffolds and the like.
Not sure about 300K per year, but money is definitely good.
a bit of an update:
spoke to my mate yesterday and they are two days into the work and one of them wants to call it quits already! due to lack of experience they werent given the "300k mines job" instead they have landed a $25-30 an hour job scaffolding at some local high rise apartments, something they could have just as easily done here in melbourne. looks like scaffolding wont be on my radar just for now ha ha!
Did you pay cash for the ticket?
Probably the best decision IMO.
Mine work at the moment is so volatile. Contracts get drawn and torn up every day here. Basing your lifestyle on such work is gonna end in disaster no matter how many potential $$$'s are attached to it
