Project Builder — Northern Territory Nomination

Project Builder in Northern Territory — nomination overview

Project Builder (ANZSCO 133112) appears on the Regional Occupation List (ROL) and is eligible for state nomination in Northern Territory under the Northern Territory Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Northern Territory opens invitations for this occupation. The NT prioritises applicants with a genuine intention to live and work in the territory, supported by a local employer connection. Skills assessment from VETASSESS is required, covering qualifications and work experience against Australian occupational standards. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test and satisfy health and character requirements. The only nomination pathway is the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, a provisional visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment at or above the income threshold before transitioning to permanent residence through the Subclass 191 visa. Subclass 190 nomination is not available for ROL-only occupations. A successful state nomination adds fifteen points to the applicant's points test score. Processing in Northern Territory typically takes four to eight weeks, and visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
