SOC 3113 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £42,500, and Brightsmith 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 3115 (Quality assurance technicians, QA/QC checks and inspection are mentioned as duties) or SOC 3111 (Laboratory technicians, Lab work with scientists and material preparation). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
