New engineering sector recruitment service draws wide and fast interest
more than 1200 engineering professionals and over 40 employers registered within days of the
launch of the innovative service on Thursday 6 May.
The engteam.com.au service has been established by the peak professional body for the
engineering profession, Engineers Australia, in response to growing needs across the
profession to build skilled engineering teams.
A further increase in the existing shortages of engineers in Australia is expected over the next
five years with an estimated 75,000 engineers retiring and only about 45,000 graduates coming
through our tertiary institutions.
Speaking at the launch of the service at the national Engineering Leadership conference in
Brisbane, the Chief Executive of Engineers Australia, Peter Taylor, said that given Australia’s
current infrastructure demands, which include major transport, mining and building projects and
the expanding pressures for green energy solutions for the resources sector, a new and solely
engineering focused recruitment service will assist greatly in matching needs with demands.
“The calls for more engineering talent continue to increase with the current skills shortages in
many engineering sectors and predictions of further shortages across the board.
“A significant bonus of the new service is that it offers employers the chance to identify and
recruit the engineering practitioners they need in a more efficient manner, but also at around
one-third of the costs of normally incurred throughout the wider recruitment industry.
“Engteam.com.au will work nationally and globally delivering leading edge services to the
profession, filling single or multiple roles, partnering with companies and government
organisations to work closely with internal HR teams to co-brand, to promote their recruitment
campaigns and to provide extended HR capacity,” Peter Taylor said.
Engteam.com.au is easier to use than traditional job boards, because the online tools allow
employers and job seekers to manage and track their recruitment or job seeking progress.
Both employer and job seekers create profiles which are refined with the assistance of specialist
engteam.com.au consultants to ensure all information is relevant and valid. Employers are
then sent a shortlist of matched and personally screened applicants.

Skilled Migrants -PR As a Skilled Migrant(PR), i am facing a fact that contradict all reports about the need of engineers in Australia. Skilled Migrants are neglected by the official departments and they facing the jobsearch without any guidnance. As an experianced civil engineer (20 y) and self employed for the last 14 years, the responses for most of my job application in complete rejection because the lack of Australian Experiance. The recruitments offices who are responsible for recruiting to the major companies, do not even make the effort for presenting the application to the client. This fact is offends skilled migrants that came to look for better life in Australia.

Extending cooperation for the Members This is a very brilliant initiative of Engineers Australia. I am proposing to extend the jurisdiction of this organisation on behalf of Engineers Australia to reinvent and organise the skills of the new skilled migrants particularly for PR and members of the Engineers Australia. If it is done I think Australia will overcome the skill shortages in Engineering sector. I am seeking cooperation to reinvent my skills in renewable energy sources. I am going to start my masters course in the University of Adelaide in Master of Sustainability in jobless condition. Thanks to Engineers Australia. Md.
