SOC 2122 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £46,800, and Metlen 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 2127 (Engineering project managers and project engineers, Role coordinates with project managers and supports construction execution planning) or SOC 5223 (Metal working production and maintenance fitters, On-site mechanical erection and maintenance work in heavy industrial environment). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
