SOC 2133 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 34% sure that is the right code. Tesco Technology is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals) or SOC 2131 (IT project managers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
