SOC 2127 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 54% sure that is the right code. SSE plc 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 1123 (Production managers and directors in mining and energy) or SOC 2122 (Mechanical engineers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
