Thank you blossom79 & Rupert
i have checked on the sol list and there are 2 categories for me, Surveyor 232212, which is assessed by sssi & civil engineer 233211, which is assessed by engineers australia.
in the uk I would be classed as a site engineer as I am based on site engineering and setting out but in Australia I have been informed that this is referred to as a surveyor, but the course I am studying for is as a civil engineer which I would also be classed as within the uk as it has 2 meanings I.e. Site based or working within an engineering office.
my current paperwork is a diploma in site management through the ciob.
you can see how confusing it is to me.
regards
