SOC 2125 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 30% sure that is the right code. SLB 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 2124 (Electronics engineers) or SOC 2123 (Electrical engineers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
