SOC 2131 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 58% sure that is the right code. Tended Ltd is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.

About the role
We are seeking an energetic, adaptable Project Manager to lead end-to-end client implementations and rollouts.
In a fast-growing scale-up, project management isn't just about updating spreadsheets—it's about driving delivery pace, mitigating real-world risks, aligning cross-functional teams, and making sure our technology delivers immediate, tangible value in live operational environments.
At Tended, we create first-of-a-kind safety systems that use some of the most advanced technologies on the market to transform rail worker safety. Our flagship geofencing solution has been named as one of TIME’s Best Inventions and has made it onto the Digital Leaders 100 list for Geospatial Initiative of the Year.
We’re a venture-backed scale-up with an incredible team and work alongside industry-leading organisations in the rail sector to innovate and bring rail workers home safe every day. Tended is growing quickly and we're now recruiting for Project Managers to support our technology deployments on client sites around the UK.
