SOC 2124 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £52,000, and Danfoss 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, Role involves electrical design and validation alongside electronics) or SOC 3113 (Engineering technicians, Some test work is technical support rather than professional engineering). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
