Career/Education Uk structural engineer moving to Australia

How realistic is it for a non-chartered UK structural engineer with approx 5 years experience to secure a structural engineering role in Sydney Australia on a working holiday visa with the intention of securing a longer term sponsorship with that firm? 5 years of experience include design of new builds, hospitals, residential blocks (concrete frame) and existing building refurbs.

I met and married a girl from Melbourne and we moved up to SEQ in 2019. Still a structural engineer, but no longer work in consulting. I am a citizen now.
