This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3116 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Alloyed 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 2125 (Production and process engineers, Production and planning engineer role if technical planning dominates) or SOC 2481 (Quality control and planning engineers, Planning production schedules and work sequences focus). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
