This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3113 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £42,500, and Ingersoll Rand is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3119 (Science, engineering and production technicians not elsewhere classified., Service technician index entry; general technical support role), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Ingersoll Rand what the duties actually are.
