SOC 5223 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Loma Systems is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 5246 (Electrical service and maintenance mechanics and repairers, If the equipment is primarily electrical/electronic rather than mechanical), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Loma Systems what the duties actually are.
