SOC 2123 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £58,700, and Ipsum 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 3113 (Engineering technicians, Graduate shadowing commissioning engineer, assisting with testing and site work) or SOC 2127 (Engineering project managers and project engineers, Attends commissioning meetings and interfaces with client engineering teams). 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.
