SOC 3113 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 39% sure that is the right code. BW Offshore is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 8133 (Energy plant operatives) or SOC 5223 (Metal working production and maintenance fitters). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
