Customers should note that with immediate effect, chartered quantity surveyors have been added to the national shortage occupation list.
As a result of this change, work permit applications for chartered quantity surveyors will no longer need to be subject to a full resident labour test. Please refer to the business and commercial guidance for full details.
This change to the national shortage occupation list has been the result of consultation with the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors and relevant key stakeholders on the engineering sector advisory panel.
