Hi everyone,

I recently completed my Master of Fire Engineering at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand.

I am currently looking for graduate fire engineering opportunities, but the NZ market is very small and graduate roles have been quite limited this year. I have seen more graduate fire engineer roles in Australia, but I do not currently have Australian work rights, so it has been difficult to get interviews. (I'm not a NZ citizen, can't go to Australia)

I am wondering whether remote support work could be a realistic option, such as assisting with fire engineering reports, code review, research, FDS modelling support, documentation, or other junior-level tasks.

Does anyone have advice on how a recent graduate could approach firms in Australia, the UK, the Middle East, or elsewhere for this type of opportunity?

Any suggestions or reality checks would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I recently completed my Master of Fire Engineering at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. I am an international graduate, not a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident, so I do not have automatic work rights in Australia.

I am currently looking for graduate fire engineering / fire safety engineering opportunities. The NZ market is quite small, and graduate roles have been very limited this year. Australia seems to have a much larger fire engineering market, but without Australian work rights, it has been difficult to get interviews.

I am wondering whether Australian consultancies ever consider overseas-based graduates for remote support, contract work, or junior technical tasks, such as report preparation, code research, documentation, FDS modelling support, or drawing review.

Any advice or reality check would be much appreciated.
