I’m a mechanical design engineer in building services based in Dublin. It’s a wasteland here in Ireland. In the past month I have seen only one job advertised that matches my skills and experience. I’ve been looking towards London for the past few weeks and there seems to be a few positions been advertised but there are a lot of people on the job hunt out there. All in all it’s pretty crap.

It was evident that the guy who drew the first draught had no idea what he was drawing. Six revisions later and still waiting for a full set. Drawings come from India.

Well I could not disagree more
The reason we find ourselves in this predicament is entirely political and corrupt politicians who only answer to their financial paymasters.

I wonder how many you poo pooed the talk of inevitable global disaster when we started these illegal wars.
Spending billions to kill and destroy foreign nations when those billions could have improved our own infrastructure never mind the hostility we face from third world nations and especially the Middle East.
Democracy my ass.

I for one saw this coming in 2003 and started saving like crazy for the lean years. Enough to keep me for at least five years.

But in your situation, I would suggest you get in touch with The HVCA through the internet and ask what contractors are doing the work,you can also try Hays Montrose in Victoria office,via the net,you may get some answers there or other contracts that may be available.Keep us all posted.Good Luck

You have seen on the news aome weeks ago what is happening on some of the new generation site and the protesting, the same principle applies here.
