SOC 2152 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Pilgrim's Europe is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 4159 (Other administrative occupations not elsewhere classified., If the role is purely administrative coordination without environmental expertise), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Pilgrim's Europe what the duties actually are.
