SOC 2440 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £56,500, and px fairport 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, Engineering-heavy EPC/OEM project delivery could fit engineering project manager) or SOC 2455 (Construction project managers and related professionals, Construction/installation elements could place it in construction project management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
