SOC 2123 (88% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £58,700, and Impellam Group 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 2127 (Engineering project managers and project engineers, Manages substation contracts and reviews contractor design documentation) or SOC 3113 (Engineering technicians, High voltage distribution and substation technical support work). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
