This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3113 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 43% sure that is the right code. The University of Manchester 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 3119 (Science, engineering and production technicians not elsewhere classified), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask The University of Manchester what the duties actually are.
