Several lenders apply specific policies to your profession. Eligibility, limits and pricing vary - subject to assessment.
How lenders view engineering professionals
Stable employment and recognised qualifications are generally viewed favourably across most lender credit teams.

Project based income
Bonus and project completion payments can be counted as supplementary income with two years of consistent history.
Common challenges
Where this profession often hits friction.
Contractor history
Short term contracts can concern generic assessors. The right lender focuses on continuity of income, not the structure of each engagement.
Project based and FIFO income
Allowances, site uplifts and FIFO loadings need a lender that counts them properly.
Recent role or industry change
Recent changes can compress the income history. Lender choice matters more than usual.
