Hi Mohammed, Welcome to our community. Thank you for your post.;
I Australia is currently experiencing a demand for skilled electrical technicians, particularly in the oil and gas sector. This demand presents a promising opportunity for professionals like yourself to migrate through employer-sponsored visa pathways.
Employer-Sponsored Visa Options:
-
Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482):
- Overview: Allows Australian employers to sponsor skilled workers for positions they cannot fill locally.
- Streams:
- Short-Term Stream: This stream is for occupations on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and allows stays of up to two years.
- Medium-Term Stream: For occupations on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL); permits stays of up to four years and offers a pathway to permanent residency.
- Eligibility:
- Your occupation must be on the relevant occupation list.
- You must have at least two years of relevant work experience.
- A positive skills assessment may be required.
- Process:
- Secure a job offer from an Australian employer willing to sponsor you.
- The employer submits a nomination application.
- Upon nomination approval, you apply for the TSS visa.
-
Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186):
- Overview: A permanent residency visa for skilled workers nominated by an Australian employer.
- Streams:
- Direct Entry Stream: For individuals who have never, or only briefly, worked in Australia.
- Temporary Residence Transition Stream: For TSS visa holders who have worked for their employer for at least three years in the nominated occupation.
- Eligibility:
- A positive skills assessment in your occupation.
- At least three years of relevant work experience.
- Meet the English language proficiency requirements.

Steps to Pursue Employer Sponsorship:
-
Skills Assessment:
- Obtain a positive skills assessment through Trades Recognition Australia (TRA), the designated authority for assessing electrical occupations.
-
Job Search:
- Research Australian companies in the oil and gas sector seeking electrical technicians.
- Utilise job portals such as our own at https://482jobs.com , company career pages, and professional networks to find potential employers.
-
Application Process:
- Prepare a comprehensive resume highlighting your experience and certifications.
- Apply directly to job openings or contact recruitment agencies specialising in your field.
- Clearly express your interest in employer sponsorship during the application process.
-
Engage with Employers:
- Once an employer expresses interest, discuss the possibility of sponsorship under the TSS or ENS visa schemes.
Additional Considerations:
-
Licensing: Ensure your electrical licence is recognised in Australia. You may need to undertake additional training or assessments to meet Australian standards.
-
English Proficiency: Demonstrate proficiency in English through tests such as IELTS or TOEFL, as required for visa applications.
-
Stay Informed: Regularly check the Australian Government’s Department of Home Affairs website for updates on visa requirements and occupation lists.
I appreciate that is a lot of information, however, please feel free to ask any clarifying questions and I will look to help where I can
Best regards,
Mark
