SOC 2161 (68% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,400, and Olsam Opco Limited is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2129 (Engineering professionals not elsewhere classified) or SOC 3429 (Design occupations not elsewhere classified). 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.
