This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3556 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,200, and Doka UK 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 1132 (Marketing, sales and advertising directors, Sales director title and leading team could suggest director-level management) or SOC 3552 (Business sales executives, Technical sales of formwork products with strong technical knowledge required). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
