SOC 2121 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 59% sure that is the right code. British Steel is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 1251 (Property, housing and estate managers), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask British Steel what the duties actually are.
