Lookin to work abroad . I have 15 yrs exp. In systems and tube & clamp and almost everything in between just need to know what tickets I need to do this thx brothers and cheers :cheesy:
 
Welcome to the forum mate if you choose London/uk there is actually quite a lot of work around at the moment as for tickets ( not sure if you are familiar with our system) we have cisrs cards green card is the bottom labourer and up to black card which is senior management, now the problem is that even tho you are a scaffolder you would have to start at the bottom ie labourer then in 6 months part 1 then another 6 months part 2 etc....

Now it is wrong IMHO but that's the way it is mate good luck
 
anyone who says tube and clamp might as well stick to using a hammer

Don't suppose you were Trained by Eddie were you Cas? Myself and Mick were in talks with the brotherhood to work in a training centre before we left. Obviously they didn't know we were illegal at the time :laugh:

Don't go there before you go offshore mate. I am waiting for the full lowdown on modern day offshore platform life.
A friend of mine has just gone to Canada in a managerial role. No doubt he will be recruiting before long.
