This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1121 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 34% sure that is the right code. WARBURTONS LIMITED 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 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified) or SOC 2125 (Production and process engineers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
