SOC 2481 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 49% sure that is the right code. Laing O'Rourke 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 2455 (Construction project managers and related professionals) or SOC 2127 (Engineering project managers and project engineers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
