This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3113 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 30% sure that is the right code. Princes 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 5223 (Metal working production and maintenance fitters) or SOC 2125 (Production and process engineers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
