What's the equivalent job?

Hello All
We are attempting to decide whether to try Oz or not and have already come up against an oddity. Any ideas what they would call a Computer Aided Design Engineer (CAD)? Cn't find it on any of their lists!! Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.

Sorry, I can't answer your question myself but a call to an emigration agent for some free advice would help.

Kind regards

Yup, Autocad is pretty standard here. Lots of opportunities fro good design drafters, especially in electrical and structural.

When you firm up your plans, let me know.

Fraser - thanks for your tips and as soon as we've made some decisions we'll let you know. Your advice has finally made Rew do his own research.
Thanks again.
