This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2123 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 43% sure that is the right code. Dalkia UK 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 5246 (Electrical service and maintenance mechanics and repairers), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Dalkia UK what the duties actually are.
