ozpaul Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I am in the process of doing completing Engineers Australia skills assessment for Electrical Engineering Draftsperson. (Electrical Designer/Draftsperson in UK) I was wondering if anybody is currently working as the above position in Oz? I would like to find out if there are job vacancies out there and also what the pay rate is? Struggling to find any information, in the UK i earn the equivalent of over AUD$200,000 and was wondering if this is possible over in Oz? Thanks for your help in advance.

Eera Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 We employ civil engineering drafties so I don't know whether there's any form of correlation - and they get paid nothing like $200,000! Very Senior ones might get $45 per hour, more like $30 to $35 for the mid range. If you were independent you could feasibly charge yourself out at $120-$150 p/h or so. But it is a different industry.

Many thanks for the reply. How do you go independent in Australia? Is this a real possibility with a 189 visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eera Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I don't know the conditions of that visa, you'd basically have to set yourself up as your own business and advertise your services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
