Work as an engineer in Australia

vitofilip · May 2016

@jedh_g Tama bro. Ganyan talaga ang ibang tinitignan na option ng mga migrants dito. Mas maganda talaga na ma-address ang palagi hinahanap ng recruiters na "Local Work Experience". Mahirap kasi na madalian lahat pero walang direction. Buti si Mrs muna nag training para hindi masayang ang pera.hehehe Kasi mas madali mka hanap ng gov't subsidized training si Mrs kasi hindi na assess ang education qualifications niya di tulad ko na nag pa assess na sa Engineer's Australia. Kaya, plano namin, work muna ng odd jobs isa sa amin para mka tagal pa ang pera pang gastos sa araw2x. Kaya ok yan direction na mag training bro. Good luck sa ating lahat.hehehe

@vitofilip nice keep in touch bro. Plan ko mag first landing sa Perth. Sana makahanap ng best local employment doon. Para one big happy family kami early next year 2017! All the best bro, cheers!

mga sir anong job sites kayo naghahanap ng mga opening? Thanks

vitofilip · June 2016

@Captain_A Bro, sabi ng mga kakilala ko na naka hanap na ng work dito sa Oz, mostly sa SEEK sila nka hanap ng work at mas malaki daw chance kung sa mga private advertisers or direct from company ang advertisement. Pag mga HAYS daw, mahirap kasi puro mga may local experience ang pinipili na nila. Sinasuggest din nila na mag google ng mga companies na related sa work experience na hinahanap mo at check mo kung may email address sila para makapag email ka ng cover letter at resume sa kanila. Minsan effective din yun. At mas maganda na mag improve daw parati ng Resume based sa job posting, lalo na sa Cover letter dapat personalized sa company daw ang labas.

kamusta ang mga engineers dito? balita guys?

Hello mga bros. Advice ko lang dito sa sydney. Reality, mahirap talaga makapasok sa construction industry lalo pag based kayo sa site. hahanapan kayo local experience and need nyo white card certificate. Stiff ang competition dito kaya wag kayo rely sa agency.. Referrals and ring up nyo mismo un company, not email. Confidence is the key sa pgkuha ng work. credentials and cert, way lang un sa pagland ng interview, sa interview mismo, different ball game na yan.. BE CONFIDENT and you must have excellent communication skills.. Advice ko QS, estimator, design and CAD mas madali kayo makapasok pag yan experience nyo.. Goodluck guys. Based lang yan sa experience and observation ko. hehe.

Ask ko lang po mga kapea ko civil engineer at mga ibang engineers. Kung madali po ba makahanap ng work sa OZ? Like cad operator or revit archi. Or field engineer. Nagbabalak po kasi kami mag migrate sa OZ. ask ko din magkano daily gastos or cost of living? Para maestimate kung magkano pocket money na kailangan.

chosin97 · July 2016

Hi! sa lahat.. Ask ko lang po kung anong steps ang kailangan para makahanap ng work sa sydney. Civil engineer ako sa pinas at hanap ko sana ay QS o estimator..

Hi Engineers. would just like to ask if malaki pa ba opportunities for Telecom Engineers working in Radio access network there esp. in Melbie? Rf optimisation Engr po ako sa Phil and planning to register in EA as telecom engr. Is landing a job there as an opti engr really hard? Thanks po. Will appreciate your response

@piglet24 hi po we're planning ng husband ko to migrate s oz, ask ko lang po kamusta na job hunting po jan? we're both civil engineers pero specialization is structural engineer, building and bridges, in demand p rin po b jan?

thatbadguy · August 2018

Hi guys. Anybody here who was an engineer in the Philippines at engineer din ang job role dito sa Australia?

madel09 · August 2018

Hello everyone ask ko lng po me and my husband are both engineers. Pero sa gusto na namin mag australia mag land kami hopefully early next year as student visa muna. Ang question ko po since ung asawa ko lng ang mag aaral i can work partym po.. matagal na kasi ako sa construction as mep quantity surveyor my possibility po ba na mka apply ako partym to my field if ever i like lang po? Salamat po..

vencel2017 · August 2018

@madel09 yup. Actually, you can work full-time. Cia lang ang hindi puedeng mag fulltime. Competitive lang ang application for work like elsewhere in the world. Kahit matagal ka na sa field mo. Pray for guidance. Apir!

vencel2017 · August 2018

Pede lang cia magfulltime ata kapag sem break.. up to 40+ hours a week. Not sure though..

@thatbadguy, me mate, praise God

thatbadguy · September 2018

@PitMb anong work mo bro dito sa AU?

PitMb · September 2018

@thatbadguy Site Engineer (Quality), Sydney Metro 2 proj. Ikaw? San ka dito?

thatbadguy · September 2018

@PitMb sa Electrical ako bro. Been applying to jobs with "Engineer" on it but always get rejected. Applied as a draftsperson at ayun nakuha thankfully. Kinuha ko since wala akong Australian experience pa and due to economic reason din since my money is running out.
Hopefully in the future, I can land a job as an Engineer talaga.

Ikaw ba, is this your first experience in AU? Hinanapan ka ba ng certificates like chartered Engineer ka dito sa AU, something like that?

PitMb · September 2018

@thatbadguy well it's a good start for you, at least you're in the industry. It's my 2nd experience, my 1st actually was in a factory, far from what my degree really was.

Hindi naman ako hinanapan ng chartered or certificates, experienced based naman lagi sila they don't care about anything but experience, they always look for what experience you have, nagkataon lang na yung hinahanap nilang role sumakto sa experience ko sa abroad and yung specialization ko kasi i just learned that may shortage dito sa oz and God's grace as well kaya yun nakapasok sa construction. I'm planning to member in EA and get chartered as well, it's a plus for us. Just keep in touch if ever may opening i'll give a notice on this page.

Pray lang ng pray, it really helps.

PitMb · September 2018

Anyone worked as a QA/QC in construction? With precast concrete or large projects involving concreting works? Our project is looking for Quality Technician and will be based in Sydney and i'll be happy to recommend someone qualified

SGtoAU · September 2018

Hi mate, got my first job here in Melby as hydraulics engineer for a building consultancy.

PitMb · October 2018

@wanderer congratulations mate

Mai_ · October 2018

Hi. Just want to share for those who are looking for a construction related job particulary as a QS, PM and Planner. You can search for Turner & Townsend jobs in LinkedIn. They have many opportunities across Australia and I would recommend to look at LinkedIn instead of Seek cos that’s how they connected with me. All the best!

SGtoAU · October 2018

@Mai_ thanks po! husband ko is Project manager... san po kayo based?

datch29 · October 2018

Hi all,

Ok po ba ang industry ng manufacturing sa Melbourne? Currently working in a manufacturing company and nasa Engineering department ako. Process and automation ang major scope nang job ko ngaun.

Salamat po sa mag rereply.

Mai_ · October 2018

@SGtoAU Hi! Melbourne based po. San po kayo?

maryowni09 · October 2018

Hi, Chemical Engineer ako and working as a Facilities Engineer sa geothermal industry handling project management and process engineering. Tanong ko lang is, lagi ko kasi nakikita tong "local work experience", ibig b sabihin nito is any kind of job (even not engineering) basta "locally"(within OZ)?
