SOC 2121 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,400, and Saipem 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 2452 (Chartered architectural technologists, planning officers and consultants, Architectural design and layout coordination focus could fit architectural technologist) or SOC 2127 (Engineering project managers and project engineers, Coordinates subcontractor activities and manages technical interfaces on project). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
