Hi Lewis,
I do not have straight answer regarding your queries but you may check some NZ agency websites which has salary reviews.
Hi Lewis
Best places to live and work are pretty subjective of course. In terms of welding/fabricating and where THAT work is, Christchurch is definitely a good place to start looking. Plenty of construction happening here.
If you do Stainless or Structural then area is kind of important but if you are a general fabricator then you should be able to find work anywhere. Qualified will get you more from what I have seen between $21-$27 around Hamilton area doing stainless work. I have been contacted from employers around here in Wellington to do Structural welding and that varying from $18-$25 but the jobs are temp. I hold a Iron Workers JIW card which is a Qualification for Structural Engineer ( Structural Fabricator/Rigger ) SO I still get emails from all of the CV's I sent out in mass before I got here. I have no idea about working as a Fabricator here at all. I work as a Mechanic since I had a Qualification in it also.
