SOC 2455 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,300, and Ingleton Wood LLP 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 2452 (Chartered architectural technologists, planning officers and consultants, Architectural technologist/consultant role if design co-ordination dominates) or SOC 2454 (Chartered surveyors, Building control/surveying background could make surveyor the fit). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
