SOC 2455 (88% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,300, and MACE GROUP LIMITED 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, Utilities infrastructure delivery focus could make it engineering project management.) or SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Consultancy framing and project management consulting could fit management consultancy.). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
