Thanks so much for the update, Paul—that’s really helpful!

As a Licensed Electrical Mechanic, your occupation would typically align with ANZSCO 341111 – Electrician (General).

This role is currently listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which is great news—it means there are several skilled visa pathways available for you.

Given your background, here are some potential options to consider:

1. Employer Sponsored Visas

The Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa – subclass 482 could be a great pathway if you secure a job offer with sponsorship.

You can start your search at https://482jobs.com – this is one of our own websites and all jobs listed here offer Australian visa sponsorship.

Since you’re in a trade, the direct link to relevant jobs is: https://482jobs.com/job-category/trades-services/

Also try:

https://seek.com.au

https://indeed.com.au

For the latter two sites you’ll need to filter for sponsored roles as they list both sponsored and non sponsored positions.

Uploading your resume to 482 Jobs is another great step as we have Australian recruiters that that use our database to identify potential candidates. https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

2. Skilled Migration Visas

You may also be eligible for permanent skilled visas like the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) or Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) if you meet points requirements and complete a positive skills assessment through Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) – website: https://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au

3. PNG Citizen Stream – Pacific Engagement Visa (PEV)

As a Papua New Guinea citizen, another possible option could be the new Pacific Engagement Visa (subclass 192).

This visa is designed for citizens from the Pacific and Timor-Leste, offering permanent residency through a ballot system.

You can read more on the official site here: https://www.dfat.gov.au/geo/pacific/people-connections/people-connections-in-the-pacific/pacific-engagement-visa

Your experience with reputable Australian companies like Downer, Monadelphous, and McConnell Dowell is a big plus.

That background may make it easier to connect with Australian employers who are already familiar with your work environment.

Let me know if you’d like help with the skills assessment process or if you’re interested in the PEV and want to know how the ballot works.

Hope this gives you a good starting point, Paul. Happy to help further anytime!

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Mehboob, and thanks for your question! 🙂

As a plumber, your skills assessment is conducted by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA).

You’ll need to complete the Offshore Skills Assessment (OSAP) if you’re applying from outside Australia and seeking a skilled visa like the 482 Temporary Skill Shortage visa or 189/190/491 skilled visas.

Here’s how the process works:

1. Check eligibility: The ANZSCO code for Plumber is 334111, and it is currently on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List).

This means you are eligible for skilled visa options like 189, 190, 491, and employer-sponsored visas like the 482.

2. Assessment steps:

Stage 1: Documentary Evidence Assessment You must submit evidence of:

Your plumbing qualification (translated into English)

At least 3–4 years of full-time work experience, including at least 12 months within the last 3 years

Proof of employment like payslips, reference letters, tax documents, etc.

Stage 2: Technical Interview and/or Practical Assessment If your documents are approved, you’ll be invited to a technical interview or practical assessment to demonstrate your skills.

3. Assessment body: You will need to go through a TRA-approved Registered Training Organisation (RTO) for your specific country. A popular one is RTOs like VETASSESS or ASI Solutions. They will give you the full list of documents needed.

TRA website: https://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au

To help find visa-sponsored plumbing jobs, try:

1. https://482jobs.com – This is one of our own websites and all jobs listed here offer Australia visa sponsorship. The job category for you might be useful: https://482jobs.com/job-category/trades-services/
2. https://seek.com.au
3. https://indeed.com.au

You should also upload your resume to 482jobs so recruiters in Australia can find you: https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/

Hope that helps get you started.

Hi Aneesh,

Thanks for your post. I’ve moved your question to its own thread to keep things nice and tidy—it’s always better to start your own post when asking a new question, especially if it’s different from the original topic.

This way, we can provide you with more tailored help and others can find the information more easily too. 👍🏻

Regarding your interest in the 482 visa (Temporary Skill Shortage visa), your visa options are directly linked to your occupation.

Each occupation is assigned an ANZSCO code (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations), and depending on which list that occupation appears on—the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List), STSOL (Short-term Skilled Occupation List), or ROL (Regional Occupation List)—different visa options and pathways may apply.

To give you the best advice, we’ll need more details about your background. Could you please share:

1. Your current occupation and work experience
2. Any qualifications or certifications you hold
3. Whether you’ve completed any skills assessments or English tests

Once we have this, we can guide you more precisely on job search tips and the most suitable migration pathway.

Looking forward to hearing more so we can help you move forward.

Regards

Mark

[Mark]

G’day Paul, and welcome to our community! Thanks for introducing yourself. 🙂

You’re absolutely right. There are many opportunities in Australia’s job market, especially in areas like maintenance, construction, and trades.

Your specific occupation will play a big role in your visa options, so it would help to know exactly what trade or type of maintenance work you do.

For example, different trades such as electrician, plumber, or fitter each have their own ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) codes, which influence visa eligibility and sponsorship pathways.

Once I know your exact occupation, I can guide you on:

Whether it’s currently in demand in Australia

The best visa pathways available (like employer sponsorship or skilled migration)

What qualifications or licensing you may need to meet Australian standards

Looking forward to hearing more about your experience so I can give tailored advice.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Louis,

Thanks for sharing your background—you’re in a great position to pursue skilled migration to Australia!

As a Fitter and Turner, your occupation is classified under ANZSCO 323212, and it’s currently listed on both the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and Regional Occupation List (ROL).

This opens up a number of visa pathways for you, including:

• Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage visa) – Short-term entry with employer sponsorship.

• Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) – Direct permanent residency pathway through employer sponsorship.

• Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional visa) – Points-tested and often requires regional nomination.

• Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated visa) – Points-tested with state nomination.

Since you’re seeking sponsorship, I recommend starting with the Temporary Skill Shortage (subclass 482) visa. You already have your VETASSESS skills assessment and PTE Academic, so you’re well-prepared.

To find jobs that offer sponsorship:

1. https://482jobs.com – Fitter roles are likely listed in: https://482jobs.com/job-category/trades-services/ – This is one of our websites, and all roles listed here offer visa sponsorship.

2. https://seek.com.au

This means you have multiple visa pathways available, including:

• Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage visa)

• Subclass 494 (Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa)

To find visa-sponsored chef jobs, start by browsing our dedicated Australian sponsored job board. We have over 230 active hospitality listings here:

Hey Muhammad and welcome to our community.

The differences aren’t that great to be honest.

Check out the guide we wrote a while ago as a starting point.

https://482jobs.com/australia-resume-step-by-step-guide/

Based on some of the resumes I have seen, avoid including a date of birth, marital status, religion, or a photo. These are not necessary for Australian roles.

What is your occupation and where are you on the process?

Happy to assist with any further questions.

Hi Johnkennedy,

Thank you for sharing your background.

Based on your experience the following skilled migration pathways to Australia might apply:

1. Hotel or Motel Manager (ANZSCO 141311)

This occupation aligns closely with your current role. It is listed on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), making you eligible for the following visa options:

• Subclass 190 – Skilled Nominated Visa: A permanent visa requiring nomination by an Australian state or territory government.

• Subclass 491 – Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa: A five-year provisional visa for regional areas, also requiring state or territory nomination.

• Subclass 494 – Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa: A five-year provisional visa requiring sponsorship by an employer in a designated regional area.

• Subclass 482 – Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Short-Term Stream): A temporary visa allowing you to work in Australia for up to two years, with the possibility of renewal.

For the Hotel or Motel Manager occupation, a skills assessment is required. The assessing authority is VETASSESS.

You will need to demonstrate qualifications equivalent to at least an Australian Diploma (AQF Level 5) and relevant work experience.

2. Sales and Marketing Manager (ANZSCO 131112)

If your role has a significant focus on strategic marketing and sales management, this occupation may be suitable. It is listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which opens up additional visa options:

• Subclass 189 – Skilled Independent Visa: A permanent visa that does not require sponsorship or nomination.

• Subclass 190 – Skilled Nominated Visa: As above.

• Subclass 491 – Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa: As above.

• Subclass 494 – Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa: As above.

For the Sales and Marketing Manager occupation, the assessing authority is the Institute of Managers and Leaders (IML).

You will need to demonstrate a relevant degree and substantial experience in a senior sales and marketing role.

Next Steps:

1. Determine the Most Suitable Occupation: Assess whether your experience aligns more closely with Hotel or Motel Manager or Sales and Marketing Manager.

2. Skills Assessment: Prepare and submit a skills assessment application to the relevant assessing authority (VETASSESS for Hotel or Motel Manager, IML for Sales and Marketing Manager).

3. Expression of Interest (EOI): Once you have a positive skills assessment, submit an EOI through the Department of Home Affairs’ SkillSelect system.
