This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3131 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Allegis Global Solutions 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 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers, Infrastructure engineer/design focus if design is primary duty) or SOC 2137 (IT network professionals, Network systems focus if networking is primary). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
