Experienced Plumber Seeking Employer Sponsorship for Australian Visa
Hello everyone,
My name is Md Jahangir Alam Farhan. I’m a certified plumber with over 5 years of hands-on experience in both residential and industrial plumbing. I’ve worked with international teams and can read plumbing blueprints and drawings. I also have basic knowledge of AutoCAD 2D and 3D.I’m currently looking for employer sponsorship for a plumbing position in Australia. I’m ready to relocate and work hard, and I’m willing to go through the required visa process.
Can anyone guide me on how to find plumbing companies that sponsor overseas workers? Or if you know any available opportunities, I would really appreciate your help or advice.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Md Jahangir,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the community! 🙂
Plumbing is a strong trade occupation in demand in Australia. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you explore visa pathways and find sponsorship opportunities:
1. Occupation & Visa Pathways
Your occupation, Plumber (General), falls under ANZSCO Code 334111 and is listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). This gives you access to multiple visa options:
Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage visa) – employer-sponsored, up to 4 years.
Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) – employer-sponsored permanent visa.
Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent visa) – points-tested permanent visa without employer sponsorship.
Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated visa) – state-nominated permanent visa.
Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional visa) – regional state-nominated, 5-year provisional visa.
To explore options like 189, 190 or 491, you’ll need to:
Complete a skills assessment via TRA (Trades Recognition Australia): https://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au
