SOC 2133 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 33% sure that is the right code. ZRG 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 2132 (IT managers) or SOC 1137 (Information technology directors). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
