SOC 1121 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,000, and ecube 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 1241 (Managers in transport and distribution, Operations manager in transport could fit aircraft transition services). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
