SOC 4159 is not currently on the eligible-occupation list, so a Skilled Worker visa is unlikely here. Check the occupation eligibility rules and confirm with the employer.
This could also be SOC 9233 (Exam invigilators, Job involves invigilating candidates during exams). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
