SOC 3552 (70% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and LKQ Group (UK) Limited 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 3113 (Engineering technicians, Technical support and advice role could fit engineering technician) or SOC 5231 (Vehicle technicians, mechanics and electricians, Braking systems expertise and workshop support could fit vehicle technician). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
