This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2129 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £46,100, and Spencer Ogden 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 2123 (Electrical engineers, If emphasis were on power systems and grid electrical engineering rather than control systems.) or SOC 2125 (Production and process engineers, If role centred on process control and instrumentation rather than SCADA systems.). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
