SOC 2455 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,300, and Childerstone Project Management is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3582 (Health and safety managers and officers, Strong health and safety compliance focus under CDM regulations), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Childerstone Project Management what the duties actually are.
