This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2122 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 52% sure that is the right code. WSP GROUP LIMITED 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 2129 (Engineering professionals not elsewhere classified) or SOC 3114 (Building and civil engineering technicians). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
