Who this is relevant to
This description may be relevant to roles analysing manufacturing or other operational systems. Compare it with mechanical engineering, production or plant engineering and general management when your work spans several functions.
Requirements
Check Engineers Australia’s assessment pathway for your qualification. Prepare examples that explain the operational problem, the information you analysed and the technical basis for your recommendations. Record measurable results where available, while making clear which decisions and work were yours.
Process
- Map your actual duties to the industrial engineering description.
- Select the assessment pathway appropriate to your engineering qualification.
- Organise examples of resource analysis, workflow or facility decisions, with evidence of your personal contribution.
- Check the separate visa and nomination conditions before relying on the assessment for migration.
Common issues
General statements about lean systems, productivity or team performance can obscure the engineering work. Distinguish your analysis from routine administration and explain how the evidence supports this occupation rather than another engineering code.
