Visa lists

Project Builder (133112) currently appears on three lists, as of 2026-02-09:

• Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL). The CSOL is the list that opens the Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482) core skills stream and related pathways. Source: Home Affairs skill occupation list.
• Regional Occupation List (ROL). The ROL applies to regional visa streams. Source: Home Affairs skill occupation list.
• NZ Green List Tier 1. The NZ Green List (effective 26 March 2025) identifies occupations New Zealand actively needs. Tier 1 is the higher-priority tier. Source: NZ Immigration Green List.

List membership opens a pathway. It is not the same as a shortage rating. Those are two separate things. Being on the CSOL means the occupation is eligible for certain visa streams. The 2025 AU Occupation Shortage List (released October 2025, from Jobs and Skills Australia) is a separate, point-in-time read on labour market demand. We do not have a verified shortage rating for 133112 to share here: check the occupation page for the current reading, which links directly to the Jobs and Skills Australia 2025 Occupation Shortage List.

Near-miss code: Construction Project Manager (133111)

Construction Project Manager (133111) is in the same Construction Managers group (1331) and is easy to confuse with Project Builder. The key difference: Construction Project Manager focuses on managing the overall project timeline, budget and contractors across a build. Project Builder centres on the physical construction process and compliance with building regulations. If you hold a builder’s licence or registration, 133112 is usually the closer fit, but confirm against both ABS descriptions before you proceed.
