SOC 9119 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 40% sure that is the right code. Bakkafrost Scotland 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 9111 (Farm workers), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Bakkafrost Scotland what the duties actually are.
