SOC 2469 (66% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and MAXIMUS UK Services Ltd is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3582 (Health and safety managers and officers), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask MAXIMUS UK Services Ltd what the duties actually are.
