I'm having a great deal of trouble securing fitter/technician work in SEQ. Seeking some advice…

Hi all, I spent most of my (20 years) career working in defence aviation as an aircraft maintenance engineer and commercial rail as a service technician. There is very little work in SEQ for either of those roles so I have been seeking an industry change where I may be able to use what transferable skills I have acquired.

My letterbox even has a special round hole to stick rolled up things into submitted by /u/shaggyishungry [link] [comments]
