SOC 2134 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,700, and PRACYVA 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 2132 (IT managers, Advert mentions day-to-day line management of engineers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
