This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa

SOC 5223 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 41% sure that is the right code. Unipart is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.

Worth checking: this could also be SOC 8142 (Assemblers (vehicles and metal goods)), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Unipart what the duties actually are.
