Employer Nomination Scheme subclass 186 requirements for construction and engineering employers

Overview

The Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) is a permanent residence visa. An Australian employer nominates a skilled role. The worker applies for the visa. Health and character checks apply across all streams.

Construction and engineering employers deal with project based work, multi site delivery, and complex group structures. That makes role selection and evidence alignment more important than most sectors.

Streams Under Subclass 186

Home Affairs lists three streams.

• Direct Entry (DE)
• Temporary Residence Transition (TRT)
• Labour Agreement

Direct Entry Stream

Direct Entry is used for workers applying straight to permanent residence, either offshore or onshore.
