This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2127 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 36% sure that is the right code. Michael Page 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 2122 (Mechanical engineers) or SOC 1121 (Production managers and directors in manufacturing). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
