I am a 44-year-old French Buddhist monk currently in Asia, seeking to relocate and work in Australia through a job with visa sponsorship. I have skills in plumbing, welding, heating installations, tiling, and catering. I am eager to find a role that allows me to live and work permanently in Australia. I first need some remote work in order to do so.

Experienced plumber and heating engineer with hands‑on installation and welding expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a skilled plumber and heating engineer with state‑recognised professional training as a "Heating and Sanitary Plumbing Installer" and years of hands‑on experience in France and Switzerland. I have performed installations and maintenance on heating, sanitary and ventilation systems, worked on boiler rooms, floor heating and solar panel piping, and carried out precision stainless and plastic piping for industrial applications.
Before ordination I worked in demanding environments including luxury hotels and museums, and I am comfortable delivering high‑quality finishes in private and institutional settings. As a monk in Sri Lanka and elsewhere in Asia I contributed to construction projects including stupa decorative concrete and composite work, and I approach pipe installation and oxy‑acetylene welding with the focus of a craftsman.
I am autonomous for private home interventions, able to work under a team leader on collective installations, and experienced in maintenance for active establishments. I seek work where I can apply my technical plumbing, welding and installation skills reliably and with care.
