This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1123 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 49% sure that is the right code. Siemens Energy Limited is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 1259 (Managers and proprietors in other services not elsewhere classified), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Siemens Energy Limited what the duties actually are.
