This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa

SOC 5223 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Tesco 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 3113 (Engineering technicians, Mechanical maintenance technician index entry fits engineering-focused maintenance work) or SOC 5319 (Construction and building trades not elsewhere classified, Building maintenance technician fits general store property maintenance duties). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
