Climber looking for work abroad.

[Pearce Stephenson]

Hello!

I'm a 25 year old, relatively rookie climber with a years experience looking for an opportunity to work abroad.

I'm based in the South of England and have City & Guilds Level 2 certificates in Chainsaw maintenance, cross-cutting, felling, climbing, aerial rescue and aerial cutting.

Are there opportunities for fairly new climbers such as myself? And is it relatively easy to find and successfully start work abroad?

 

Thanks

I would guess two years experience is better than one but I'd start looking around and making contact with firms. Temporary working visas are easier to get when you are your side of 30 so don't leave it too long.

 

Search the threads on this forum, we've had adverts for Aus, Canada, Germany, Norway in the not too distant past.

I thought that might be the case but hoping there'd be an exception with some firms where a years qualified experience would be enough.

I'd definitely look to go asap so the visa shouldn't be an issue.

 

Will search through though, thanks for your help 👍🏻

There was a thread on here 4-6 weeks ago offering a job opportunity in New Zealand.  They were offering training and help with visa application etc. They said they have had UK climbers. See if you can find it. Presume it will be be in job opportunity forum. Good luck
