Indicative Skill Level

Skill Level: 1

In the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO), Indicative Skill Level 1 is the highest skill classification level. It refers to "Occupations that have a level of skill commensurate with a bachelor degree or higher qualification."

For Aeronautical Engineer, the ANZSCO Skill Level Classification describes the indicative skill level 1: "Designs and supervises the construction, manufacture, modification, and operation of modern aircraft, aircraft systems, and associated aeronautical equipment."To achieve this skill level, an individual typically needs a Bachelor's degree or higher qualification in Aeronautical Engineering or a related field, several years of relevant work experience, and in-depth knowledge of industry-specific standards and regulations.

Skills Assessment Authority

For Australia

In Australia, the Skills Assessment Authority for Aeronautical Engineers is Engineers Australia. Engineers Australia conducts a Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) assessment to determine whether an applicant's engineering qualifications and work experience are equivalent to Australian standards.

For New Zealand

In New Zealand, Engineering New Zealand assesses the skills, qualifications, and experience of Aeronautical Engineers who wish to migrate to New Zealand under the Skilled Migrant Category.

Tasks to Perform for Aeronautical Engineers

Here are some everyday tasks performed by Aeronautical engineers:

1. Design and develop aircraft, aircraft systems, and associated equipment, including propulsion systems, structural components, and avionics.
2. Conduct research to improve existing technology and develop new technology for use in aviation and aeronautics.
3. Analyze and interpret technical data, such as aerodynamic performance and structural integrity, to determine the feasibility and practicality of proposed designs.
4. Evaluate the performance of aircraft and aircraft systems, including flight dynamics, stability, and control.
5. Collaborate with other engineers and specialists, such as electrical engineers, materials scientists, and software developers, to integrate systems and components into complete aircraft designs.
6. Develop and oversee testing programs to evaluate the performance of aircraft and aircraft systems and to identify and solve problems.
7. Ensure compliance with relevant safety and regulatory standards, including airworthiness, maintenance, and operations.
8. Provide technical advice and support to other engineers, technicians, and operators in the aviation industry.
9. Manage projects, including developing budgets, schedules, and resource plans and overseeing project teams.

English Requirement

Please note that these are general guidelines. Individual institutions or employers may have different English language requirements. Confirming their requirements with the specific institution or employer before applying is always advisable.

Exceptions

1. Engineers may be considered as an alternative to formal qualifications. However, the required experience will depend on the employer and the specific role.
2. Engineers members of certain professional bodies, such as Engineers Australia, may be exempt from some of the usual requirements. For example, Engineers Australia may provide a skills assessment that recognizes an individual's professional experience and qualifications instead of the standard educational needs.
3. Some Aeronautical Engineers may be exempt from English language requirements if they come from certain countries or have completed a degree or qualification in English.
