BMS Commissioning Engineer - SOL, Visa, Employment, Timeframe
Hi all,
If anyone can give me any advice at all I would be extremely grateful!
My plan is that in 3 years time me, my wife & 3 children (8,6,4) will move to Oz to start a new life. Hopefully Melbourne but ultimately I will go wherever the work is.
I am a BEMS Commissioning Engineer, Primarily Trend but also Delta as well. Im 31 and at the time of hopefully moving I will have been a commissioning engineer for 8 years but in total will have 14 years experience overall in Design, Test, Install & Commissioning of BMS & HVAC systems.
My main concern is that I am not a qualified spark, Although my knowledge is exceptional due to gaining a lot of experience over the past 10 years. As a commissioning engineer I have a team of sparks who essentially work for me.
I am not fully qualified in anything although I do have a C&G level 2 in Electrical/electronic servicing. I've been very fortunate to get where I am in my career.
I have also done a few of the trend courses.
MY QUESTIONS......
1. Which route do I go down to get a permanent skilled visa? SOL's etc
2. Is the BMS sector similar to the UK?
3. What kind of salary could I expect? I earn £37000 currently in the UK
4. Would I need to gain any extra quals? Either here or down under?
If you can answer any 1 of my questions that would be a great help.
Thanks in advance

Can't answer much on salaries for BMS or HVAC. My guess is though that you will need additional qualifications.
