Hello.

Just found these forums today through a google search, and had some interesting reads already.
Don`t know if this site is for british scaffolders mainly, but it seems most of you guys are british or at least working in Britain?
Was still very happy to see that something like this exists! Could be interesting if this forum expands and more nationalities are represented.


About me:
30 year old guy, been working with scaffolding for about 9 years.
At the moment working as a foreman/supervisor at Ormen Lange processing plant in Norway.

The tests are in norwegian I`m afraid, so there`s not much way around learning the language yet. It`s not hard for a commited person though, especially when you speak english. (Same family)

This is a answer to a PM I got a few days ago, I`ll post it here in case more people need a place to start.

I can give you the names and numbers/mail to some companies in Norway.

ThyssenKrupp: Have work in the cities and they also have people on various onshore installations. I don`t know what rep they have in England, but they are a good company to work for over here. They also have an ad out for more people at the moment.

Bit short on time at work at the moment, but I guess you have something to start with now. I can try to write down some more later or over the weekend.

General tip: When speaking on the phone, try to speak clearly and slowly. Yes, norwegians are decent at english, but anyone might have trouble following you if you speak dialect or something.

Good luck!

There`s a lot more companies of course, ask the people you talk to when you call for tips on more companies to call. If you`re friendly and polite, most people will gladly spend a few minutes to give some advice.
Hope this will be of some help.
 
Hi Gink
Just a big thanks for the email you sent me with the contacts.
Had 1 possible out come from them but have to phone back at end of December.
Is there any work on your job after xmas for 3 advanced scaffolders? is there any chance you can have a word with any 1 as we are desperate for work.

Thanks Gink

Karl
 
Hi again Karl.

No problem with the list, I can try to post some more names later.
In the meanwhile, don`t be afraid to call multiple times, and don`t hesitate to ask the ones you call for help and tips on other companies.

At my work there`s not much going on after christmas I`m afraid.
We`re currently doing the ******* horrible job of downsizing our force to about a third to what we currently have. A lot of great guys (mostly polish) won`t be here after new year, and it`s killing me.

December, january, february are not the best months to find work here either, but keep at it and if you`ve not found anything by spring, your chances increase a lot.
 
Hi there, welcome norway scaff, it's a good site & some interesting words of wisdom.

I'm a scaff operations supervisor working out of Qatar very hot out here, want to do a swap lol?.

I used to work in stjord in the AKA Yard many moons ago great country Norway.

If your guys need any good supervision giv me a shout, my family are sick of it here now, been here 4 yrs & need a change of scenery.

Enjoy the forum anyway regards Richy
