Hi All, I have been involved in the Electricity and Gas utility industry for 17 years, at present I am a Regional Operations Manager looking after 80plus field staff, 7 Team Managers and 1 admin. I put alot of effort into trying to emigrate to Oz around 3 years ago but despite utility companies replying back to my emails, I could not find sponsorship. At this stage I was a Team Manager. My question is with my promotion to new position which I have been employed in for last 2 years, does anyone know of any companies which may be interested in sponsorship, or if I could apply straight for residency visa instead of looking for sponsorship? I have just come back from 3 weeks in Oz visiting Sydney, Gold Coast and loved it, so any help please would be great!! Thanks, The Desperates!!
