SOC 2133 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and Tata Communications 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 2132 (IT managers, Manages IT/telecoms services and functions in an organisation) or SOC 1137 (Information technology directors, Directs IT infrastructure and services including networks). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
