SOC 1122 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £53,400, and LB Croydon 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, Construction project management focus on major repairs and capital projects) or SOC 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified., Programme delivery manager index entry fits strategic leadership role). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
