Yes, your profile matches New Zealand’s Green List Tier 1 occupations.

With a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and over 11 years of experience, you qualify as an Electrical Engineer - this is a Tier 1 occupation on the Green List, which offers a direct pathway to residence.

To be eligible, you’ll need:
- A job offer from an accredited New Zealand employer
- To meet qualification, registration, and minimum salary requirements (currently NZD $35.00/hour or the higher occupation-specific rate; subject to change)

If you need help with next steps or eligibility details, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
