SOC 3111 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £33,400, and Magna International 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 2481 (Quality control and planning engineers, Strong quality focus with PPAP/APQP and SPC responsibilities) or SOC 2125 (Production and process engineers, Continuous improvement and process development emphasis). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
