SOC 3120 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 28% sure that is the right code. Foster + Partners is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers) or SOC 2451 (Architects). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
