SOC 2129 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £46,100, and CONVERGIX Automation Solutions is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2127 (Engineering project managers and project engineers, Oversees project plans, timelines and handoff to operations) or SOC 3552 (Business sales executives, Engages with sales, presents proposals, supports win strategy). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
