SOC 2121 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 55% sure that is the right code. M Group 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 3114 (Building and civil engineering technicians) or SOC 3113 (Engineering technicians). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
