Who this is relevant to
Power design, protection, electrical machines and related engineering work can be relevant to this description. Compare the role with Electronics Engineer and with licensed electrical trade work, particularly where your overseas title is used for both engineering and installation duties.
Requirements
Check qualification recognition and the assessment route with Engineers Australia. Prepare evidence of your technical reasoning, such as how you evaluated system requirements, standards or equipment options. A migration assessment must be considered separately from permission to perform regulated electrical work in a state or territory.
Process
- Identify whether your main responsibility is power-system engineering, electronics or electrical trade work.
- Check the exact engineering program, accreditation and relevant study dates.
- Prepare examples showing your own design, analysis, commissioning or engineering oversight responsibilities.
- Check the intended visa requirements and any professional registration or licensing obligations.
Common issues
An engineering assessment is not an electrician’s licence. Applications can also become unclear when references describe only routine installation or maintenance without explaining the engineering judgement and level of responsibility involved.
