Hello Nqobizitga and welcome to Oz Visa Forum 🙂
Based on your trade as a Class One Tradesman in Signal and Electronic Engineering specialising in communication systems, the most relevant ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) code would likely fall under:
342414 – Telecommunications Technician
Job Description: Installs, maintains, and repairs telecommunications equipment and systems, such as telephone networks, fibre optics, and communication devices.
Tasks May Include:
Installing and testing telecommunication systems and equipment.
Repairing or replacing faulty components.
Configuring and programming communication systems.
Maintaining signal and communication equipment.
Does that align with your experience? 🤔
If so, Telecommunications Technical is listed on the Regional Occupation List (ROL) for Australian migration. This opens up pathways for employer-sponsored visas, particularly for regional areas of Australia.
Visa options:
1. 494 – Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) (subclass 494):
This visa allows you to work in regional Australia for an employer willing to sponsor you.
It requires a valid skills assessment (TRA) and at least three years of work experience in your occupation.
2. 187 – Regional Sponsor Migration Scheme (RSMS) (subclass 187):
For this visa, you must have a sponsoring employer in a regional area.
This visa pathway has permanent residency opportunities.
Steps to Take
1. Skills Assessment:
Your skills need to be assessed by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) to ensure they meet Australian standards.
Prepare documentation such as trade certificates, employment references, and details of your work experience.
2. Job Search:
Focus on regional employers, particularly in industries like telecommunications, rail transport, and infrastructure projects.
Use job boards like our site at http://482Jobs.com, SEEK, and Indeed, filtering for regional locations and sponsorship opportunities.
3. Prepare Your Application:
Update your CV and cover letter to Australian standards, highlighting your specialisation in communication systems, hands-on experience, and certifications.
4. Target Regional Employers:
Many regional employers are actively seeking skilled workers due to talent shortages.
Look into opportunities with companies working on Australia’s telecommunications infrastructure, NBN (National Broadband Network), or regional rail systems.
That’s a lot of information.
If you have any question or if your day to day job tasks aren’t really aligned with the ANZSCO code I’ve based this assessment on, please let me know.
All the best
