SOC 2125 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £45,000, and OCU is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2123 (Electrical engineers, Strong electrical design focus could place it in electrical engineering) or SOC 2129 (Engineering professionals not elsewhere classified, Multidisciplinary EICA role may not fit a specific group). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
