Engineering Manager - Assessment Information Sheet
To have your skills and qualifications assessed to Australian standards you will need to go through the following steps:
1. Assessment procedure
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) has nominated Engineers Australia (EA) and the Australian Institute of Management (AIM) as the assessing authorities for the occupation of Engineering Manager. Applicants can apply to either of these bodies.
In conducting an assessment, each assessing authority will consider the applicant’s qualifications, training and work experience. Applicants must have held a senior management position for a minimum of five years.

2. Supporting documents
As part of your EA assessment you will also be required to provide supporting documentation. The required documents are listed on the assessment application form and include:
- certified copy of formal degree/diploma or certificate
- certified copy of your academic transcripts
- brief curriculum vitae.
As part of your AIM skills assessment you will be required to include:
- position descriptions for past five years including details of subordinate managers
- organisation charts
- formal qualifications
- letters of appointment and/or payslips, company reports.
All documentation must be certified true copies. Note that the name, status and address of the person certifying the copy must be clearly evident. Wherever possible, an official stamp should accompany their signature.
Make sure you keep a copy of these documents for your personal records as you may need them for employment purposes.
3. Send in your application form
Send your application form to EA or AIM with the required documentation and assessment fee.
Once your application, supporting documents and assessment fees have been received the assessment process can commence.
EA or AIM will then send you a written statement indicating that your skills either meet or do not meet the Australian requirements to migrate as an Engineering Manager.
If your assessment advises that you meet the requirements, you can submit this statement with your DIAC visa application.
