SOC 3113 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 38% sure that is the right code. FCC Environment is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 5246 (Electrical service and maintenance mechanics and repairers), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask FCC Environment what the duties actually are.
