Graduate Job Needed

[Petrolhed]

Just Graduated uni with a mechanical engineering degree (BEmech HONS) and now I'm looking to try and use it.

I know its a long shot, but does anyone know of any positions going in the Auckland area?

Cheers

Wrong time of year to be looking broseph, all our grads have started (Beca)

[Petrolhed]

yea I know, had some potentials but they all fell through. So just checking what else is around

[xsspeed]

Do the ring around mate, most places over here you can get put through to section managers etc, ask them if they have positions and if you can come in and meet them

you currently working there? They tried to get me on board about a year and a half ago, but couldnt justify my position in the end. was just before the recession started.

[xsspeed]

Yeah coming up to 3 years. Worked there part time through uni too. I'm a mech engineer, working in building services, so do HVAC and plumbing&drainage design

[Adydas]

nice, its allways intresting bumping into various people along the path that carries a project from design to complete product.

[xsspeed]

What do you do adydas?

[Adydas]

i work on the other end of the spectrum, providing and supplying lighting / cable (electrical) based on plans from plans from places like beca.

And I am a commercial property manager, I get to deal with the systems that are installed into a building.

Petrolhead, keep focussed. Its hard getting that first job, especially in the current climate but something will come up and your career will take off.

You keen to go anywhere? Just NZ or overseas?

I would prefer to stay in Auckland due to commitments, but a job with a little travle never hurt nobody

[.:O4AGTZ:.]

I am dealing with Beca at the moment as well.

I work for transfield services and we are doing up a couple of hundred odd houses around NZ for Housing New Zealand.

I am part of managing the project.

NEVER work with housing new zealand! They want every single little bit of paperwork, they want it now, they wont pay anymore than next to nothing and even the slightest variation to a plan like an extra power point means it needs to be fully requoted.

[Mr.Phreak]

Welcome to dealing with Govt departments......Gotta keep all those over paid, under qualified people busy somehow

[Mr Revhead]

Overpaid? naaaaaaaah they don't get any more than comparable private workers...... Now whats that beer again?
