Hi
I am a 37 year old, Apprentice trained Instrumentation and Control Specialist with more than 10 years of experience. I have a National Diploma in Instrumentation & Control(Electronic Engineering), Certificate in Industrial Measurement & Control Technician Part 3 (City & Guilds), Technician Diploma in Electrical Engineering Theory & Technician Diploma in Engineering (City & Guilds).
I am currently residing and working in South Africa.
On the SOL 2016, there is Electronic Instrument Trades worker (General); Code: 342314 - TRA and Electronic Instrument Trades worker (Special Class) Code: 342315 - TRA. What are the roles and responsibilities/differences of these two occupations - that is if there is any agent with a bit of knowledge with this? Here in South Africa, we are called Instrumentation & Control Mechanicians, Technicians or Specialists - depending on your qualifications and experience. So i just want to know the resemblance. Also what is the demand like of these positions in Australia?
I have got a two year old son and my wife is 34. She holds a Masters in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) & she is a Registered Professional Natural Scientist with (SACNASP). She has also 6 + years of experience doing EIA Consultancy and 4 + years as a University Lecturer.
We are planning to migrate to Australia as soon as possible so; The VISA we think suits my situation is Skilled – Independent Visa (Subclass 189).
