Absolutely no rope experience or tickets as of yet. 6 years of advanced fibreglass/carbon fibre experience. How do I break into the game? Do I go into a regular rope access job to build hours, tickets etc first or go straight into the blade repair stuff?

Hey guys, I'm a 25 year old guy in New Zealand looking to get on board with a blade repair team in Australia or anywhere else I can get a decent visa in 2027.

I'm a trade certified Composite - (Fibreglass) boatbuilder and have been building and repairing Fibreglass/Carbon fibre boats for 6 years. Proficient in hand lay, vacuum bagging, Resin infusion, structural repairs, fairing, painting etc

Should I go do my IRATA 1 and GWO tickets or do I see if an employer will put me through the courses?

Does anyone know what the money/lifestyle is like for an entry level blade repair technician in australia or if there's any countries that would be a good start for my situation.

Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm looking at doing rope access blade repair on the wind turbines. Problem is, I have to stay super hydrated for health reasons and need to urinate frequently. (Sometimes once every hour). What can I use to avoid having to get down to use the toilet. Are catch bags/bottles acceptable? Or has anyone had experience with this?

Thanks.
