This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3556 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,200, and Tarmac Trading Limited is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 3552 (Business sales executives, Business sales executives also manage territory accounts). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
