If you are considering starting a new life in Australia, now is the right time! Engineering job vacancies in Australia are at a ten-year high and many Employers are recruiting internationally to fill their vacancies.

The high demand for Civil Engineers and Construction Professionals is driven by unprecedented investment in large and complex public infrastructure projects, maintenance of infrastructure assets such as roads, bridges, and ports, and the increasing need for sustainable solutions in areas like waste management and water supply.

To meet demand across Australia, over 41,000 further individuals are estimated to be required to fill engineering occupations including positions in civil, geotechnical and structural engineering. Construction Managers, Civil Engineers, Surveyors, Structural Engineers, and Geotechnical Engineers have been added to Australia’s Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List (PMSOL) and as a result, Employers are given priority visa processing.
