This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements
SOC 8132 is not currently on the eligible-occupation list, so a Skilled Worker visa is unlikely here. Check the occupation eligibility rules and confirm with the employer.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 1123 (Production managers and directors in mining and energy, If role primarily manages operations and resources rather than hands-on field execution), which is on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Odfjell Technology what the duties actually are.
