SOC 2129 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £46,100, and Tata Consultancy Services 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 2125 (Production and process engineers, Control and instrumentation engineering focus on process plants) or SOC 3113 (Engineering technicians, Junior role supporting testing and commissioning activities). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
