Immigrating to New Zealand

MGold

I am currently looking into immigrating to New Zealand with a view of working on the Christchurch rebuild. I am a Quantity Surveyor and I'm need advise on who are the best recruitment agencies to contact as I would prefer to have a post before I leave Ireland.

Any response much appreciated

Get in touch with the recruiters listed on the results in Seek and you'll have an idea of the job market. Might be best just come down on a Working Holiday Visa and apply in person as i'm sure they get tons of overseas applications.

Dont go through a recruitment agency.
Just show up and ring the companies directly and tell them you're ready to start right away.

If you cant get a job as a QS in CHCH at the moment you've no business working anywhere at anything tbh.

Yes market down in Christchurch going to be very strong for next 5 to 10 years so really good pipeline of work available for QS's - i work with an Irish company we have recently formed a joint venture with a local Christchurch based construction firm called Chris Beer Construction and Chris is looking for a QS for his firm
