SOC 2482 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 25% sure that is the right code. HEATHROW AIRPORT HOLDINGS LIMITED is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3582 (Health and safety managers and officers), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask HEATHROW AIRPORT HOLDINGS LIMITED what the duties actually are.
About the role
Heathrow is one of the world's busiest airports, operating in a complex, constantly changing environment where resilience is critical to keeping people, flights, and operations moving safely and efficiently.

Plan and deliver resilience exercises, testing programmes, and post-incident reviews, ensuring lessons learned are effectively implemented.
Support operational projects and strategic initiatives by integrating resilience considerations into planning and decision-making.
Play an active role in incident response, including participation in Heathrow's on-call incident response arrangements.
Manage the day-to-day Command & Control function while building strong stakeholder relationships to strengthen resilience and ensure regulatory compliance.
Experience in emergency response, crisis management, business continuity, resilience planning or a related discipline.
Good understanding of operationally complex environments, ideally within aviation, transport, infrastructure or similarly regulated sectors.
Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence and collaborate at all levels.
Confidence leading discussions, challenging constructively and driving accountability for resilience outcomes.
Experience delivering projects, exercises or operational improvement initiatives.
Excellent written, verbal and presentation skills, with the ability to remain calm and effective in high-pressure situations.
