Occupation code 3113, Engineering technicians.

Not on the Ineligible Occupations List, and not on the Critical Skills list

DETE says:

Every other job in the labour market that is not listed on the IOL is eligible for an employment permit. For these occupations, the employer is required to undertake a Labour Market Needs Test and if no one suitable applies for the job, the employer is free to apply for an employment permit. Occupations such as these may require skills of a more general nature and are eligible for a General Employment Permit (GEP).
