SOC 2127 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 46% sure that is the right code. British Airways is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 2122 (Mechanical engineers) or SOC 1241 (Managers in transport and distribution). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
