At SharaConsulting, we don’t just train engineers—we build Australia’s next generation of engineering leaders. Founded by RPEC-certified Mechanical and Systems Engineer Basant KC, we bridge the critical gap between engineering education and real-world Australian industry success. Based in Australia and serving engineers nationwide, we specialise in transforming graduates and skilled migrants into confident, job-ready professionals who contribute from day one.
We're not another generic training provider. We're practicing engineers who know exactly what Australian employers want.
SharaConsulting was born from a clear industry gap: Australian employers needed work-ready engineers, while thousands of capable graduates and skilled migrants struggled to enter the market. Having navigated this transition himself after moving from international roles to Australian industry, Basant KC recognised that technical knowledge alone wasn’t enough—engineers needed Australian-specific skills, standards knowledge, and workplace cultural understanding.
What began as individual mentoring has grown into comprehensive programs serving engineers across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and regional centres. Today, we partner with engineering firms, support skilled migration pathways, and have helped hundreds of engineers launch and advance their Australian careers.
Unlike generic training providers, our programs are designed and delivered by practicing engineers. Basant KC maintains his role as Lead System Engineer at KONE Elevators while directing SharaConsulting—ensuring our curriculum reflects current industry demands, not just theoretical concepts.
As an RPEC (Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland) and RPEV (Registered Professional Engineer of Victoria) certified engineer with 12+ years of Australian industry experience, Basant brings unmatched credibility. Our training incorporates real projects, current standards, and genuine workplace scenarios.
We specialise in translating international experience into Australian context. Our programs emphasise:
AS/NZS standards and National Construction Code (NCC) compliance
State-specific regulations (NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA)
Local workplace culture and communication norms
Industry-specific software and methodologies used in Australia
We address all aspects of career success:
Technical competency development
Professional communication and soft skills
Australian job search strategy
Interview preparation and negotiation skills
Ongoing career advancement support
90%+ interview success rate for program graduates
200+ engineers trained and placed in Australian roles
12+ years of collective Australian industry experience among trainers
100% practical, hands-on approach to learning
We uphold the highest professional standards, mirroring the expectations of Australia’s leading engineering firms and professional bodies.
Every lesson, exercise, and case study is grounded in real Australian engineering challenges and workplace scenarios.
We believe in equipping engineers with not just skills, but the confidence to apply them effectively in Australian workplaces.
We operate with transparency, honesty, and commitment to ethical practice—values we instil in every engineer we train.
We build networks that extend beyond training, connecting engineers with peers, mentors, and industry opportunities across Australia.

“After months of unsuccessful applications, the Job-Ready Pro program transformed my approach. Within three weeks of completion, I received two offers. The Australian standards training was particularly valuable—it came up in every interview.”
“As a skilled migrant, I understood the technical work but struggled with workplace communication. The Confident Communicator program gave me the confidence to contribute in meetings and build relationships with my team.”
“The CDR support was comprehensive, but the ongoing job placement assistance made the real difference. My coach connected me directly with hiring managers, resulting in a role before I’d even completed the program.”
