SOC 3113 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 34% sure that is the right code. Linnk 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 3112 (Electrical and electronics technicians) or SOC 8133 (Energy plant operatives). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
