Generally speaking the starting letter of your noc code helps with that. For e.g. NOC code of 0xxx, means some management role, NOC A is for professional fields such as engineering and NOC B is for technical / roles that require a specific skills.

Details can be read from following thread
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/list-of-noc-skills-level-0-a-and-b-t24274.0.html

as well as the official links
http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/jobs/lmi/noc/index.shtml

But you have to read details to understand exactly. However, i wonder why not simply googling the NOC code with strings like

"Is NOC xxxx skilled job" etc. would do.

Yeah it falls under NOC B, So it is skilled job. Look under the heading "Skill Level"

Skill type 0 are all NOC codes that start with 0 - like 0111 or 0213
Skill level A are all NOC codes that don't start with 0 but have 1 as the 2nd digit - like 2143 or 3112
Skill level B are all NOC codes that don't start with 0 but have 2 or 3 as the 2nd digit - like 1231 or 7315

Those above are the occupations that are considered "skilled" under immigration rules.

Those below are considered low-skilled or semi-skilled:

Skill level C are all NOC codes that don't start with 0 but have 4 or 5 as the 2nd digit
Skill level D are all NOC codes that don't start with 0 but have 6 as the 2nd digit
