SOC 2129 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 52% sure that is the right code. BAE Systems is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3582 (Health and safety managers and officers), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask BAE Systems what the duties actually are.
