SOC 5241 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and STATKRAFT UK LTD 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 2123 (Electrical engineers, Professional electrical engineer role if degree-level design/management dominates) or SOC 5249 (Electrical and electronic trades not elsewhere classified, Field engineer maintaining electricity plant if not switchgear-specific). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
