SOC 2152 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and ERM 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, Manages construction activities and compliance on site). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
