SOC 3116 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 17% sure that is the right code. FM Conway Ltd 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 3114 (Building and civil engineering technicians). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
