I am led to beleive there is a possiblity that there may be some positions going in Moomba for firefighters over the Xmas/New year period as they need some for a big shutdown of the Gas Processing plant. A good mate of mine is going up there for the work and has told me he will put my name down if he can.
-
Sounds like it would be some pretty good coin. Got any links for details?
-
A mate of mine has just come back from his 2 weeks up there, he loves it they have good training and even had a decent fire in some buildings up there last week.
-
Come on quit holding out on us where do we sign up :roll: :-P
-
Robert,you would not get in there is a lot of work that one has to do first to get to a interview....
-
Theres no harm in trying for the positon though Blinky :-)
-
Bit rough there Blinky... - Last time I checked you weren't one of their recruiters..
-
well when we get the application information i am sure it will list certain qualifications and attributes you need as most jobs do.
-
A preresiquite for Santos Fire and Emergancy- Moomba- is BA and RAR, Hazmat a nice thing but not an absolute requirement.
-
Jeez even I would qualify for that :wink: Does it pay lots?
-
Jeez even I would qualify for that :wink: Does it pay lots?
What BA have you got chook?
-
You also need HR truck, snr first aid, Cert IV BEC an advantage. You may get some info from the Santos website or if its through chubb there website. Good luck.
-
"What BA have you got chook?"
Confine space - Chubb & the Industrial fire course as well -why?
-
Just wondering thats all, it would be different than what cfs do would it not. Also was wondering where do the ses do these courses, have not heard much about that side of ses.
-
Mine is through Chubb - across the State different providers. I think Noarlunga do theirs with SAMFS. Its part of USAR as well as confine space rescue - which we are equipped for.
There is a lot of things you guys don't know about us :wink:
Like we stopped making sandwiches 3 years ago :-D - mmm Subway, Pizza Haven etc.
Like we have fire pumps, including flotation pumps and the gear that goes with them.
As I said come down and pay us a visit, you might be surprised what we have.
Oh by the way the National competency package I'm qualified in is from the Petroleum package - same one the gas fields use.
cheers
-
I am happy in my job at the moment,I dont have caba or hazmat but have RCR....
-
So did they end up having positions up there?
-
Positions were filled by a contracting company they use!
-
would that be chubb fire/security???
-
No it was not Chubb they are only good at supplying equipment and even then they are not the best at that!
-
Hey Mundcfs, I work around the Moomba area on a drilling rig. Who is your mate that works there. If he is a firey in Moomba I may know him. I think there is only a few firefighters there, but I think they do 4 weeks on and 2 weeks off.
-
2 weeks on, 2 weeks off I believe..
-
I work on a rig around Moomba (4 months) so when I am at work next week I might see if I can get to the Moomba firestation and see what goes on. I wouldnt mind getting a job with those guys. I have most qualifications needed and I have been in the CFS for a few years now.Does anyone know any more about fire fighters at Moomba.
I mean if I didnt work up here I would never have known they existed.
