domza Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 hey mate, any more info on the job? what exactly does a 'boiler maker' do? where are u located? what are the hours? what is the wage? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelican Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Ahhh Donza They make boilers Boilermakers they are the ones that use big hammer when a subtle tickle would have solved the problem. They can generally count but only because they have to keep checking if all their fingers are still there and have never grown out of using coloured crayons on everything. But beware they weild a big electrified stick and know how to use it. Seriously Good opportunity for someone to get a start - good on ya for putting it up.

brickman Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 that pritty much sums us up there used to be two trades boiler maker and 1st class welders the boilermaker works to a drawing and cuts, shapes and tack weld the job for the welder to weld it up but some bright spark desided to combine the two and call it metal fabrication so they cram at the tec work off two trades into 3 years.result trades man with skills in both but not highly skilled in either i'm 45 and did both trades so i'm highly skilled at both the jods are in sydney in the inner west the hours are 38 half day friday the pay will be firstyear wages witch is bugger all gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewgaffer Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 As in Thick As A ...? Ross That might be so but Gary Brickman is a good name for a boilermaker and Jethro Tull is just another jethro as far as I'm concerned Cheers jewgaffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
