SOC 5223 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 56% sure that is the right code. Princes Group 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 3113 (Engineering technicians) or SOC 2125 (Production and process engineers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
