Hi my name is Kellan. Next spring I graduate from University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for someone seeking employment in England. I studied abroad my sophomore year at the University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield and wish I had never come back. I studied in Hatfield for just under 6 months so I did not have to get a student visa. I have heard from talking to people who've made the move that my best options are to either pursue a masters degree in England or land a job with a firm with offices in England and transfer within the company. I have been actively researching companies with offices in both countries and I'm open to doing a masters in England but I don't think I can afford it. As an engineer I have experience working in the MEP field, but would be interested in any ME job in England. I would prefer London because of familiarity (also massive Spurs fan, COYS), but as I know this isn't exactly an easy process and that options are limited I would be open to anywhere in the UK.  Any advice is appreciated as well as any potential contacts, all I want to do is move back to England. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

You would be required to contact potential employers and if they offer you a job you would need them to sponsor you.

If they sponsor you, they'll have someone in their legal department who can handle all of the Visa requirements with you.

My husband is a mechanical engineer.  I think you would struggle to find a sponsor.  Worth a shot but it's not a shortage occupation.  Starting salaries are appalling around £20k a year here.
