This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2455 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,300, and Dragados UK & Ireland 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 1131 (Financial managers and directors, If the role is primarily financial oversight rather than project management) or SOC 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals, If the role is generic project management without construction focus). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
