I emailed a Mara Agent to get some guidance and they advised the following (we were discussing why he had suggested Building Associate rather than Construction Project Manager):
"The ANZSCO dictionary which sets skill levels and which offers 5 years experience as a substitute is a different instrument and serves a different purpose to the gazetted skill assessor Vetassess. The measure you have to satisfy for migration purposes is the Vetassess criteria, as the ANZSCO is a more general industry guideline as compared to the migration criteria set by Vetassess...Construction Project Manager for ANZSCO or industry purposes, experience can substitute (3 years work experience) however for Vetassess you must have a qualification."
Vetassess say "A highly relevant field of study is Construction Project Management, which is the study of planning and controlling building projects (ASCED). General management degrees without underpinning or related studies in construction/civil engineering or building would not usually be positively assessed for this occupation. Qualifications in Architectural Studies with supporting highly relevant employment will be considered on a case-by-case basis."
Therefore I don't think you will know unless you try. I issued all of my paperwork to the Advisory service and they advised that my degree would likely be assessed as an AQF bachelor degree. They stated that I would likely receive a positive outcome against Building Associate based on CV and Work experience paperwork. They didn't mention Construction Project Manager at all, I don't know if this is because they ruled it out due to qualification or I didn't fit the criteria for the case-by-case scenario. Hope this helps
