This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2121 (82% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,400, and RoC Consulting 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 2127 (Engineering project managers and project engineers, If managing projects were the main duty rather than structural design work.). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
