This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements
SOC 8144 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 9211 (Postal workers, mail sorters and messengers) or SOC 9252 (Warehouse operatives). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
