Would the tasks and duties of your work experience closely match the tasks expected of a Quantity Surveyor as listed here? http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Product+Lookup/1220.0~First+Edition,+Revision+1~Chapter~UNIT+GROUP+2332+Civil+Engineering+Professionals

thanks adam, yes didn't notice that the construction estimator role at when reviewing the job skills, perth is my preferred option.

Well if your experience closely matches the ANZSCO description the occupation of Quantity Surveyor has more options because it's on the SOL and the assessing authority are very efficient. If not and it matches the occupation of Construction Estimator, this appears on the CSOL so would require a State Nomination. It's currently on WA's schedule 2 list which would require a job offer to be successful with that state.

 

Theres lots of other considerations too, but have a look at the tasks of similar occupations in ANZSCO first to see which best fits your previous experience.

 

All the best,
