SOC 3132 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 58% sure that is the right code. QCIC 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 5245 (Security system installers and repairers) or SOC 2129 (Engineering professionals not elsewhere classified). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
