SOC 1241 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,900, and Michael Page 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 1243 (Managers in logistics, Logistics and distribution overlap with transport operations management) or SOC 1140 (Directors in logistics, warehousing and transport, Head of Transport title could imply director-level role). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
