This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2127 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 31% sure that is the right code. Altrad UK, Ireland & Nordics 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 1121 (Production managers and directors in manufacturing) or SOC 2125 (Production and process engineers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
