Very true, there seems to be a few adds every week in the local paper for mechanics (diesel mechanics are particularly sort after)

50K is a good wage for a mechanic around central north island not sure around Auckland but would expect it to be pretty good for there also.

Hi Guys

Got friends coming over from the UK in a few months. He is a motor mechanic (diesel I think) and I have told him that I think he would have no trouble getting a job over here. However, initially they would like to settle North Shore / Auckland where we are and I have seen nothing in the local papers.

Are there agencies that would deal with mechanics? he is also MOT trained and could maybe look into that but where would he initially go if there is nothing the papers? Also anyone know any web sites or agencies he could make contact with before he heads over?

Any help would be apreciated.

Thanks
