SOC 2127 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 55% sure that is the right code. NORTHERN POWERGRID (NORTHEAST) PLC 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 2123 (Electrical engineers) or SOC 5241 (Electricians and electrical fitters). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
