Engineering Jobs in Sydney

piglet24 · April 2015

Hi. We are moving to Sydney this August 2015 and we have already started scouring the net for possible employment. Parang kokonti lang kasi, I hope mga kabyan natin who are from Sydney can refer jobs sa lahat ng may engineering background. Ginawa ko ng general na engineering para maraming makapagpost. Currently I am helping my husband look for any civil engineering job kasi di ako pwedeng magwork. Thanks for your help guys.

start small... :-)

apply apply ka na sa seek.com.au ng civil engineering jobs or draftsman or estimator...or probably revit..in demand siya dito sa oz... then revise ur cv to about 3 pages lang, oz style ika nga...

goodluck :-)

piglet24 · April 2015

dhey_almighty · May 2015

Madali lang ba makakuha ng IT jobs? Saang state ang madaming opening sa IT Engineer/System Administrator?

piglet24 · May 2015

@dhey_almighty: 2-3 pages lang? that's the thing kasi yung k husbandry almost 5 pages. lahat ng experience niya. should we take out some of the responsibilities/ achievements niya per project? thanks.

**gets mo?! :-)

dhey_almighty · May 2015

@JayVil welcome to oz... :-)

try brushing up ur CV to about 3 pages...without picture...check online ng oz cv format...

maaga pa yan..usually ang mga companies e hinde agad nagtatawag for interview...talagang hinihintay nila ung job closing date bago sila magsort out ng candidates...and minsan pag tinawagan ka na for an interview, usually 50% e pasok ka na sa job...minsan naman, pag urgent hiring e nagcacall agad sila...

if gusto mo na magwork, try doing casual job muna that is not inline with ur profession...para malibang ka lang at kumita kahit paano...take note na if ever magaapply ka ng odd jobs, put in a resume na mababa kesa sa profession mo...

good luck mate.. :-)

Hello, kailangan pa bang gumawa ng endorsement letter sa last working company (offshore) galing sa manager/boss para mas madaling makahanap ng work?

piglet24 · May 2015

@dhey_almighty: yesh, gets ko. thanks!

Looking for a job is a 24/7 job.. Mahirap kasi pinag aaralan talaga. Over 107 cvs sent, I've learned that after the perfect CVs tailorfitted, dapat din sa Interview inaaral mo yung strengths and weaknesses mo that will answer to their needs. I was coached by ecareer recruitment agency about that.
Dapat straight to the point din yung answers. I recalled IELTS speaking.. Hahah!! The category when you need to answer in 2 min. came in reality in a 4 walled interview room that will get you to your dream job!

Hi! Nasa Aussie kanaba or offshore pa?

majar · May 2015

I'm here na. For now I'm in Sydney with my family and will be moving to Adelaide to start.my contract with HP.
Try ninyo mag pass ng application sa Peoplebank Adelaide or sa Robert Walters recruitment.. They are more inclined to ICT, ENGR clients.
Hope this helps.

majar · May 2015

@ironman_gray22 no need na when you're trying to apply for a job. Anyways, the referral stage comes last. They will send your referred boss a document to fill out asking about your work attitude.

wizardofOz · May 2015

Sa mga nakapagwork na sa Engineering Field sa Sydney, nag-hhire din ba mga companies ng mga entry-level positions.. mga totally “no experience” ba in a specific field?

Like sa case ko kasi, I’m an ECE pero from a manufacturing engineering background, gusto ko sana makapag-shift to probably ICT-related field sa Oz.. Thanks!

majar · May 2015

If naka manufacturing ka na, try mo sa ResMed. Factory is in Bellavista area. Maraming pinoy Engr. doon. Hiring sila... Google mo lng Site nila them call after sending your CV online. aralan mi din products nila.. They make medical equipment.
Good luck.

majar · May 2015

@JayVil show your teaching career sa mga universities.. Access their website then call if they need a teacher.. Kung part time ok na yun.Do you know university teachers are earning a lot in Sydney?? Pwede ka rin researcher sa faculty for a start.
Google mo kasi marami kang options. Be proactive lng talaga.
Good luck.

jrgongon · August 2015

@majar hi sir or mam...i dont know how to address you kasi sa name...anyway malaki ba chance ng mga civil engineer? i mean sa field kasi ako eh...nagput up ako ng construction business dito sa pinas pero may experience din ako for teaching dito sa isa sa mga universities...ask ko sana kung gaano kahirap humanap ng engineering work dyan...hindi ba sya gaya ng singapore na kaliwat kanan may offer sa engineering?

jrgongon · August 2015

@JayVil hi...swerte mo naman fresh grad ka then nakapag migrate ka na...san ka before nagturo? nagturo din ako nung college

Futures · August 2015

@jrgongon, one thing you can do is to gauge sa job postings... sa SkillSelect ceiling, civil engineer has the highest annual invitation ceiling at 2,970... others are only at 1000. http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Skil

Pansin ko lang sa Vetassess ka... why not AE?

jrgongon · August 2015

@Futures hi sir...comstruction project manager kasi ako eh...so sa vetassess ako...saka parang ang daming busisi sa EA compare sa vetassess..saka lahat parang nasuportahan ko ng documents...sana madali makahanap ng pang civil dyan...

JayVil · August 2015

@jrgongon I dont know if i consider myself lucky or not. Cant find any job inline with my profession neither odd/casual jobs. Quite depressing. PR n nga dn ako dto eh kaso hirap pare.

jrgongon · August 2015

@JayVil ilang years na kayo dyan sir! family ba kayo?pero may survival job ka po? ano po exact profession mo?

JayVil · August 2015

@jrgongon 3 months plng ako dto. 22 years old plng po ako. Kakagraduate ko kasi last yr tapos nagturo ako kaagad sa pinas for a year saka nagmove dto. Hehe civil engineering actually ang qualification ko. Wala akong trabaho ngaun 3 months na. Tingin ko hnd cla magririsk oemploy ako kasi walang local experience. Tingin ko referral ang gagana kapag ganto kaso wala ring magrerefer eh. Hirap dto. Ano po pala ung vetassess ?

jrgongon · August 2015

@JayVil construction project manager ako...pero at least habang bata andyan ka na...swerte mo...kahit anung work wala pa?pero may tumawag naman na sa iyo?paano ka nabubuhay?

jrgongon · August 2015

@JayVil ay sorry...tinatanung mo kung ano ang vetassess o ano ang pinaassess ko? vetassess ung assessing body ko kasi construction project manager ang position ko sa pinas...paano ka ba nakapunta dyan? thru bridging program or thru skilled independent visa?
