This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2129 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 44% sure that is the right code. BAE Systems is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers) or SOC 2126 (Aerospace engineers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
