SOC 2453 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £48,600, and BOVIS CONSTRUCTION (EUROPE) 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 2455 (Construction project managers and related professionals, Title says Assistant Commercial Manager and manages commercial elements of projects) or SOC 3541 (Estimators, valuers and assessors, Role involves estimating costs and financial control on projects). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
