Arbor Image based in the Northwest. Run by a top bloke who travelled and worked around the world for many years before returning home to Tassie. It's an amazing place, definitely worth a look!

Climbing arborist looking for work in swedan
Allan1986 replied to MHEIRE's topic in International Arborist Forum
Now is a good time to send some applications, I've seen many companies in Stockholm seeking climbers in the last week. You'll find work easily enough. -
Hi all Experienced Climber available for the next 5-6 weeks whilst I am between contracts. Located in the East Mids but willing to travel. I've just returned to The UK after working in Tasmania. Very competent climber in all aspects of tree work. I'll turn up on time and do what is required of me. Own PPE and Climbing equipment. Truck and trailer licence too if that is a requirement. References are available on request. [email protected] 07514836411

Climber Looking for Work on Vancouver island/BC
Allan1986 replied to tony w's topic in International Arborist Forum
Hi Ant! How have you been getting on with the job search? I'm also planning a move to BC later this year. I'm just trying to work out the best way to do it. I got put on a waiting list for the working holiday visa so that's not looking likely to happen. Any helpful info would be appreciated Cheers, Allan. -
Climber looking for work in aus
Allan1986 replied to mikebmiller's topic in International Arborist Forum
If you want to work in Australia the best thing to do is get out here and start looking for a job, it's pretty easy to find work, I was employed within a week. Try not to arrive in the middle of summer, you will struggle with the heat. Get your visa sorted then book a flight. -
No worries mate, I will be in Melbourne before January so give me a shout when you are headed over Sent from my GT-I9505 using Arbtalk mobile app

Pay for extra baggage, it's far cheaper than buying anything here. I don't know about shipping. The company I work for in WA orders all their gear from Honey Brothers in the UK because it's so expensive here.

I'm in Western Australia right now so can only speak for what it's like here. I came over in May to avoid starting work in the heat right away. A lot of climbers here wear chainsaw pants but they are not compulsory, same goes for chainsaw boots. Most work is done from EWPs when possible. The winter days here are still around 23 degrees. I'm heading over east in October.

I arrive in Perth on May 1st, send me your number and I will give you a call when I get there.
-
Hi bud, You had any luck finding work yet? I'm also heading to Perth at the end of April, Don't have any work set in stone but I have a few ideas. How was Cairns? Probably see you over there mate. Allan
-
Yeah, Combined with a RW it works fine on SRT.

Meindl Airstreams are a good boot, comfortable straight out of the box. I've had mine for a year now and they have held up well. Comfortable with spikes, nice and slim compared to my old Haix. As long as you don't mind the bright red trim!
-
You made the right choice mate! I've also only been climbing for a year and once in a while there's job I'm not 100% sure about. I just explain to the boss and we work it out, it's never a problem.
-
Cheers for the help, much appreciated!
-
Cheers TTP, I think it's the same in Aus just not sure.
-
I'm heading to Australia soon and wondering what boots climbers there are wearing? I'm told they don't usually wear chainsaw protective boots? Can anyone who has worked there give me a heads up? Cheers, Allan

Think we had the perfect customer today. The guy hired us for a full day to fell a line of trees near some utility lines. And start clearing a steep bank with whatever time we had left . Just after 1pm with most of the work completed the bloke comes out of his house and very happily announces that the day is finished, we had to remind him he still had us for 2 hours. I think he was retired and wanted us to leave some of the easier work to keep himself busy. Can't argue with that!

I don't think murderers normally pick their victims through online forums, but I guess that depends on how you behave, he might just chuck you through the chipper if you're not cutting it

I'm gonna come find a Sheila of my own in May

Just think before you post, anything you post on here is there for all to see and if any potential employers read through your previous post they might well be put off. We're not 'all on one' we are just trying to save you from yourself.

Do you honestly expect the man to sit at his computer all day and wait for you to email him? You can't expect instant replies. You have probably blown any chance now with your comments.
-
Posts like that sound childish and won't help you find work, he may just be busy. Give it more time.

Go back through the pages on this topic and you will find him. Click on his username to contact him via private message. Good luck, someone will give you a break just try to be a bit more patient.

It rains 6 days out of 7 in Bergen and usually it's non stop all day, makes me miss typical British weather! On the rare occasion the sun shows its face it's a real treat. Looking forward to moving to Australia soon, going after their summer has ended so I can hack the heat

Same here, they didn't ask for any previous qualifications. You just had to turn up, pass the tests and you get your certificate in the mail! It did take over a year for the Diploma cert to arrive though, hopefully that's been straightened out now!
