SOC 2152 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Celnor Group 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, If the role focuses on quality testing of emissions data). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
