This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2133 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 47% sure that is the right code. ValueLabs 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 2137 (IT network professionals). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
