SOC 5223 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Ecolab Limited 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 5250 (Skilled metal, electrical and electronic trades supervisors, If supervising/maintaining team is the main duty rather than hands-on work), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Ecolab Limited what the duties actually are.
