SOC 2121 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,400, and BAM 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 1122 (Production managers and directors in construction, Supervision and management of project teams is a significant duty) or SOC 3114 (Building and civil engineering technicians, Site-based technical support role could be technician level). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
