So I would like look for Job Opportunities in both the fields as, I believe, I am confident in executing whatever job I get in any of the 2 fields.

But the only problem is that I dont have any QS related certified degree, as basically, I graduated as Civil Engineer. What do you suggest?

Also, Do you recommend joining the institutions u mentioned above like "AIQS, the AIB and Engineers Australia" ?

I'm not quite sure which is your best option, I suggest you apply for anything that sounds suitable in both QS and project engineer roles. A lot of people move around between different job types. I don't think you'll have any trouble finding work, which area would you prefer to work in?

And yes, I think you should join all those organisations. You may perhaps not be eligible for the AIQS but I suggest you find out.

I'm only a first year student so I hope I don't give you any wrong information, but noone else in Australia had answered your question so I thought I'd do my best.

Hi mohsin,

I'm due to fly out to Adelaide on a 457 visa in July. I've got 8years experience as a civil engineer. Defo have a look at seek.com and see who is recruiting, and apply directly to the company.

They will want to ask about ur experience aswell as look at ur qualifications. It's harder to get into Queensland though as they have a very specific civil engineering requirement there.

There has been a lot of holding back in announcing big projects from the govt, but I believe it is all starting to kick off now, esp where there has been damage from the recent natural disasters so keep looking! From what i gathered at interviews, civil engineering companies have a lot of junior staff and are looking for people who can lead. That's what I'm going out for.

Good luck
