SOC 2122 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £46,800, and Prodrive 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 2129 (Engineering professionals not elsewhere classified., If the role is broader engineering analysis not specific to mechanical engineering) or SOC 3114 (Building and civil engineering technicians, If the role is more technical support than professional engineering). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
