Hi Henry, your expertise in heavy equipment repair is highly sought after in Australia, especially in industries like mining and construction. Many companies sponsor skilled workers through employer-nominated visa programs.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to explore opportunities with visa sponsorship:
1. Identify the Relevant Visa
The most common options for skilled workers like you include:
Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186): Permanent residency for skilled workers sponsored by an Australian employer.
Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482): Temporary visa allowing work for an employer willing to sponsor you.
Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189): If you qualify, you can apply without employer sponsorship (requires skill assessment and invitation).
2. Skills Assessment
Australia requires certain trades to undergo a skills assessment to verify qualifications and experience. The assessing body for heavy vehicle mechanics and related roles is usually Trades Recognition Australia (TRA). Learn more here:
3. Look for Sponsoring Employers
Use job portals such as:
482jobs (our website) https://482jobs.com
Seek: https://www.seek.com.au/
Indeed: https://au.indeed.com/
Focus on mining and heavy machinery companies in Western Australia, Queensland, and New South Wales, as these states have a high demand for skilled technicians.
4. Prepare Your Application
Update your CV tailored to Australian standards.
Highlight your experience with brands like Komatsu, Sandvik, and Caterpillar.
Obtain references from previous employers.
I hope this helps
Cheers
Mark
