This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2125 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £45,000, and Contechs 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 2127 (Engineering project managers and project engineers, Project engineer focus on new model programmes and planning) or SOC 2129 (Engineering professionals not elsewhere classified., R&D on new material concepts and technologies). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
