This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2432 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 49% sure that is the right code. FCC Environment is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 3556 (Sales accounts and business development managers) or SOC 3531 (Brokers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
