Just if I was able to emigrate with my job role as a construction site manager and if it wasn't on the SOL what are my other options

teza

If it's not on SOL or CSOL and you don't have an australian partner then the only option is another profession as you can't be sponsored without an occupation on the list unfortunately. Sorry but them are the facts.

Dones

OK thankyou for the advice, I have looked into the SOL and my profession is very close and simular to a couple on the list would I be able to then use the occupation on the list thankyou

teza

Have you looked at CSOL?

Dones

Yes there are very similar positions that say everything I do but the title is different so I'm not sure if it's just titled different to the UK

If the roles and responsibilities match what you do than you should be okay.

Lots of companies have different names for the same position - electrician, maintenance technician, reliability engineer, etc can all be the same job for example - so match what you do with an occupation code, then check that you can meet the requirements of the skills assessment for that occupation. The assessing body is usually listed next to the occupation in the SOL/CSOL.

Dones

OK thankyou very much yes some of the roles are very similar and I do them on a day to day basis so it might be OK just need to make contacts now with companies that would offer me work

Beoz

I agree. You couldn't put a name on some of the roles we hire 457's for. They are just very weird and bespoke roles mixing a wide range of skills.

Dones

Thankyou very much for your help I know construction may not be your area but do you have any advise on what areas of Australia may be easier to find work thanks

Beoz

Are you constructing infrastructure, buildings, plants, etc?

Dones

I have worked in shopfitting for many years, but now I am a site manager for persimmon homes one of the biggest and leading house builders in the UK

Beoz

Buildings. Sydney is building. I know that much.

Dones

Thankyou I will research there then I suppose house building may be fairly big there as well thanks

teza

id research more towards if you can qualify for visa as without it everything is a moot point unfortunately

Bermudashorts

The visa system in Australia does not work that way. You cannot just pick an occupation based on ease of finding work in it, you need to get into a visa based upon YOUR occupation.

I referred you to a website earlier in which you could check occupation descriptions. Have y exhausted that and ruled yourself out now? Must say I am surprised that somebody in construction would not fit into an occupation code, but this isn't my field so I am no expert.
