Hi Lorraine

Busy with my paperwork to migrate to Australia and I want to find out if Perth is the place to find a mining draftsman job these days ( heard stories that many  drafties without jobs after the mining boom slowed down ) or should I shoot to another city and give the market time to return to normal,  just returned from the DRC and Zambia after working in the mining industry as a Civil Design Draftsman for the last 10 years so have the working experience and familiar with FIFO?

If you can help me out in securing a interview I am willing to fly over for that or any help / advice will be much appreciated!

Welcome to Expat.com.
This is a really old thread you are posting on. 

WA has the most mining jobs going at the moment followed by Queensland. There are many expat SA living and working in WA, especially in the mining game. The boom has leveled off now and the price of iron ore is fluctuating so not too much work around for draughtsman or anyone.

Mining companies now only want people who reside in WA for any fly in fly out positions. I live in Queensland and despite having worked in WA I cannot get a job there because I reside in Qld. 

Try this website as it has mining jobs for Australia and overseas on it.  www.seek.com.au  Read the advertisements carefully as now they ask that you have the right to live and work in Australia written in the ad, so you must have your visa organized first. It is a bit more than just flying over for an interview. I had a good SA friend, a tradesman, who was here for 6 months and despite sitting exams to change his trade tickets to Oz tickets he did not get a job.

Taxes are high here in Oz as is cost of living. For cost of living www.numbeo.com  You could do a Goggle search for SA clubs or communities in Perth and make contact with them for information.

Unemployment is rising and we have the 4th most expensive economy in the developed world, the highest priced real estate in the world and the 6th highest taxed country.

Sorry to sound negative but that is the reality. You could also Google draughtsman jobs in WA and see what comes up. Contact the headhunters and see how things pan out. Good luck.

Seems I need to wait it out till the market picks up again as the risk bit too big at the moment to move country.

Thanks for the insight Stumpy and have a great day!

Hate to be negative yet again but the market will not pick up for a long time. The boom is over. WA is geared to iron ore and when the price drops jobs go. Price is well down at $89 a ton. Was running at $130 so you can see what affect this has on the economy here. Manufacturing costs for iron ore can be up to $70 or more a ton 

There is talk of the coal industry cranking up over here in Qld so maybe keep an eye out for possible work there.
