    I have got another job opportunity today with higher salary and higher position - within same industry.
    But am confused to accept it or. (personally I want)

    Would a VOC will work in this case or what can be done? do i need another ESV from new co. ? what is process
    The company has not advertised anywhere but I was contacted through a recruitment agent via LinkedIn

    Please advice.

    yes, you need a new work visa application.
    the role may be subject to a labour market test, but if you have an longer offer of employment the visa could be granted for a longer period of time, up to 5 yswrs depending on role and salary.
