This role may qualify only on a lower rate
Anyone can use the standard rate, and the pay is below it. If you are a new entrant or a PhD holder, you can use a lower rate, and the pay clears the new entrant rate. On the jobs board, Standard hides roles like this and the new entrant rate shows them as Possible at most.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 8139 (Plant and machine operatives not elsewhere classified, Machinery servicer is an index entry for this group), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Safetykleen what the duties actually are.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
