SOC 2121 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,400, and Haskoning 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 1258 (Directors in consultancy services, If managing people/budgets is the main duty, not technical work). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
