SOC 2121 (71% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,400, and BAM UK & Ireland 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 3114 (Building and civil engineering technicians) or SOC 3113 (Engineering technicians). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
