Needed: lots more engineers

WHEN Trevor Smith moved to Australia in late 2008, he found the transition easier than most. The 45-year-old South African engineer, now based in Perth, was tracing a well-worn path of his fellow countrymen, lured to Australia's booming resource sector - a trend he says has been steadily increasing in the past five years.

''Australia's by far and away the most popular destination for South African engineers,'' Smith says. ''I know quite a few other South African engineers based in Perth and elsewhere … from my generation I'd say for every 10 engineers that have emigrated, you're probably going to find more than half in Australia alone.''

    ask lang about job opportunities for Civil Engineers? Salary range? and most especially, benefits from the company (bonuses, annual leave, etc)
