How can I live and work in the UK?

Your question is incredibly confusing and asks several things at once. So let me make some statements that will probably clear up things for you.

If you come to the UK as a tourist you are not allowed to work. It is illegal. Also nobody will give you a job, at least not as any kind of engineer. You need to apply for a work permit. It doesn't matter if you are working freelance it is still illegal. If you are caught doing this you will probably be banned from the UK.

Time spent as a tourist does not count towards the five years for residency. You need to be resident, I.e. live in the UK, and living in the UK without a visa is illegal.

If you have specific questions about moving to the UK to work you should ask on our Expatriates site.
