This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements
SOC 9139 is not currently on the eligible-occupation list, so a Skilled Worker visa is unlikely here. Check the occupation eligibility rules and confirm with the employer.
This could also be SOC 5246 (Electrical service and maintenance mechanics and repairers, Inspection, maintenance and repair of tools and PPE) or SOC 8139 (Plant and machine operatives not elsewhere classified., General plant and machine operative duties). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

The working environment requires quick, decisive and responsible actions to meet the demands of the role.
You will need to be flexible in your approach to assist the team in meeting its objectives.

Being able to control a Fork Lift Truck would be an advantage but not essential. You will be able to work under your own initiative, in a safety critical environment. Support will be provided to obtain any missing requirements that the successful candidate will be expected to obtain.
