Kiwi logger How hard do you think it would be for a logger from the Pacific Northwest to get a job down under
It depends on the experience, age etc of the individual. There are usually a few Canadians scattered around the various hauler logging areas. Brian Tuor has run a few training courses in NZ in recent years. It is a case of knowing and following the rules. http://www.immigration.govt.nz/ http://www.trademe.co.nz/ (look up jobs - logging as key word) I see Australian logging jobs are being advertised in NZ.
Ive sent you a PM with my email.
