This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1139 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 41% sure that is the right code. Arcus FM 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 3541 (Estimators, valuers and assessors) or SOC 2453 (Quantity surveyors). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
