Crying out for engineers: Survey
11.08.2006Australian recruiters are still struggling to find engineers, according to the latest survey of members of Australia's peak employment services body, the Recruitment and Consulting Services Association.
The survey of business managers of onhire and recruitment companies during June showed that the top 10 occupations suffering skills shortages were:
1. Non-building professional engineers
2. Non-building engineering associates and technicians
3. Electrical trades (building)
4. Business professionals
5. Non-building electrical/electronic trades
6. Building professionals
7. Building associates and technicians
8. Carpenters and joiners
9. Metal trades
10. Plumbers
The figures indicate that six of the top 10 occupations in demand were involved in the building industry.
Regional findings show:
- In Queensland, business professionals were the hardest to find, ahead of engineers;
- Nurses ranked fourth hardest to find in New South Wales;
- In South Australia, building trades people were the hardest to find, with carpenters and joiners in first place followed by plumbers, bricklayers and roofers;
- In Western Australia, non-building professional engineers, engineering associates and technicians were in shortest supply.
The RCSA survey was conducted through a secure internet site by independent market-research company The Values Research Centre. It was the 19th survey of RCSA members in a tracking study that started in September 2001.
