Mining Engineer
Western Australia and Queensland have exceptional demand for mining engineers, tied to the resources sector.
Skills assessment
For Australian skilled migration, mining engineer roles are assessed by Engineers Australia. A positive skills assessment is a core requirement for most skilled visas; the assessing authority confirms your specific occupation code and eligibility.

Most skilled professionals reach Australia through one of these routes. Which one fits depends on your points, state nomination and whether you have an employer.
Study your way in
Many people qualify for mining engineer roles by studying in Australia first, then moving onto a graduate and skilled visa. An Australian qualification can also add points and open regional pathways.
