Skilled Migration in Australia: Kenyan Engineers – Work & Live in Australia!

Thu Aug 28 2025

In June 2025, Kenya marked a historic milestone by joining the Washington Accord as a Provisional Signatory – strengthening global recognition of Kenyan engineering education.

For Kenyan engineers with a 4-year bachelor’s degree in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, and related disciplines, this opens an exciting pathway to skilled migration to Australia.

But before you can work as an engineer in Australia, your qualifications and experience must be formally assessed by Engineers Australia – the mandatory first step for most skilled migration visas.

What You Need to Know:

✅ Kenya’s accreditation is provisional, so Kenyan qualifications are not yet fully recognised under the Accord.
✅ This means you must apply through the Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) pathway to showcase your engineering knowledge, skills, and experience.
✅ Engineers Australia assesses across 31 engineering occupations and four occupational categories:

  • Professional Engineer
  • Engineering Technologist
  • Engineering Associate
  • Engineering Manager

Upon successful assessment, you’ll receive an outcome letter confirming positive skills assessment – a crucial step towards your Australian skilled migration visa.

Why Act Now?

  • Engineers are on Australia’s priority skilled migration list.
  • Demand for civil, mechanical, electrical, and electronics engineers is growing fast.
  • Early preparation of your CDR application ensures you’re ready for the next migration intake.
