Jacob Harding never thought his electrical trade would one day land him a job travelling the world while working as an electrician with Cirque du Soleil’s LUZIA.

Mr Harding told 6PR Afternoons host Julie-Anne Sprague that construction workers – including plumbers and carpenters – were needed to help get the circus up and running.

“They put out an ad through a company I used to work for, there were a few interviews and before I knew it, I was in nice and freezing Montreal,” Mr Harding said.
