Engineering companies are some of Australia’s largest companies, including household names like xx,  xx, xx and xx. It’s easy to find organisations who are hiring Engineers and we suggest you check out their career websites. In addition to applying for jobs directly on their sites, it’s often possible to join their talent pools and be notified by email when jobs that match your profile arise. Of course, engineeringjobs.com.au is also a place where you will find plenty of current private and public sector engineering jobs.

The engineering industry is currently a male dominated industry and there is a lack of female e engineers in the workforce. The current gender imbalance is being targeted by educators, industry bodies and employers.

Naturally, every company follows its own hiring methodologies and these vary for new talent, experienced and professional hires. Expect questions that are both behavioural and skills based. The most common initial interview formats include:
• Online questionnaires, sometimes using AI type recruitment-bots!
• Phone screening interviews
• Video interviews
• Site or office based face to face interviews

In each state, there are agency recruiters who specialise in the engineering industry. Generally, these recruitment firms charge employers a fee to source and hire engineering talent, but there is no cost to the jobseeker. Naturally, the more experienced you are as an Engineer, the easier it is for recruitment agencies to find your next contract or permanent role.
