My current job finishes anytime now (electrical t/a in construction) and while looking around I've noticed quite a few listings for telecommunications riggers. I'm wondering if anyone here works as one or knows more about what they're looking for when hiring?
I have my advanced riggers ticket though the only rigging experience I have is 5.5yrs as a distribution linesman with western power. I've also got a computer science degree and did 2.5yrs as a radio operator in the army reserve.
Unfortunately I live a couple of hours south of Perth so the chances of getting a start even for fifo work are slim but I'm still interested to know the requirements or even what's involved in the job.
Cheers.
