Visa Sponsorship Job in Environmental Field
Hi, I am currently an environment officer with a bachelor’s degree in environmental management and 3 years of work experience as an environment officer. I am currently working at a mining (dredge) company engaging in doing their environmental monitoring and reporting for compliance. What are some ways I can get work in Australia, preferably WA in my field? I need help with types of work and where to look for them online etc. and what visa/process to follow. Thanks

Hi Robin, welcome to our community.🙂
Given your background as an Environment Officer you have a few pathways to find work and migrate to Australia.
1. Job Opportunities in Your Field
Environmental roles are in demand in Australia, especially in Western Australia (WA), given its strong mining industry.
Some job titles you could explore include:
- Environmental Officer (ANZSCO 234312)
- Environmental Consultant (ANZSCO 234312)
- Environmental Scientist (ANZSCO 234313)
- Compliance Officer (specific to environmental regulations)
2. Visa Pathways
Your best visa options will depend on employer sponsorship or skilled migration:
Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189): If your occupation is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and you have enough points (age, English skills, work experience), you could apply independently.
Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190): If WA nominates your occupation, you could apply for permanent residency with state sponsorship.
Skilled Work Regional Visa (subclass 491): If your occupation is listed for WA regional sponsorship, this could be an option.
Employer-Sponsored Visa (subclass 482 – Temporary Skill Shortage visa): If you secure a job with an employer willing to sponsor, this could be the fastest way to work in Australia.
Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186): If you get a permanent job offer from an Australian company, you may be eligible for direct entry permanent residency.
3. Where to Find Sponsored Jobs
https://482jobs.com (our website) All jobs here are confirmed to offer visa sponsorship.
Seek.com.au – Australia’s biggest job board (use “visa sponsorship” in search).
Indeed.com.au – Another major job portal.
4. Next Steps
1. Check if your occupation is on the skills list (MLTSSL/STSOL/ROL).
2. Improve your chances by getting a skills assessment from VETASSESS (www.vetassess.com.au), as they assess environmental scientists.
3. Get an English test (IELTS, PTE) if required.
4. Apply for jobs with sponsorship or proceed with skilled migration if eligible.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more details.
Regards,
Mark
