SOC 2129 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £46,100, and AVANTIS MARINE LIMITED 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 2122 (Mechanical engineers, If the role focuses on mechanical design and development work) or SOC 2123 (Electrical engineers, If the role focuses on electrical design and development work). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
