SOC 2131 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £58,200, and Venesky Brown 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 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals, Business/project management focus with budgets and stakeholders, not purely IT) or SOC 2127 (Engineering project managers and project engineers, Construction/infrastructure context and engineering project environment mentioned). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
