1. Check the recruiting agent's registration on the official eMigrate portal before you share documents or money. A licence number printed on an advert is not proof. How to verify a recruiting agent's licence →
2. Confirm the employer and the Site Engineer vacancy using contact details you found yourself, not only the ones in a message. A convincing logo is not verification. How to verify the foreign employer →
3. Match your CV to the Site Engineer role: your real job title, the machines and tools you used, your skills and certificates. Never add experience you do not have. Write a job-specific CV →
4. Prepare for a technical interview or trade test for Site Engineer. Employers may ask you to show practical skills, safety knowledge and how you troubleshoot. Prepare for a trade test and technical interview →
