Who assesses this occupation
Last confirmed against the department's list on 30 July 2026.
This occupation reads differently for the 186 and 482
Two editions of ANZSCO are current at once, and the department applies ANZSCO 2022 to the employer sponsored visas while everything above follows ANZSCO 2013.
The definition is identical in both editions, but the published duties are not:
- preparing drawings, modelling, plans and integration for electronic engineering and systems
- developing, constructing and testing electronic equipment and associated circuitry in accordance with technical requirements
- installing, testing, verification, repairing and modifying electronic equipment and recording and graphing results
- estimating material costs and quantities
- evaluating performance of equipment
- inspecting designs and finished products for compliance with specifications, drawings, contracts and regulations
If you are going for a 186 or a 482, this is the wording that governs you. Everything above governs the points tested routes.
