This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3554 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 33% sure that is the right code. Arup is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 4151 (Sales administrators), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Arup what the duties actually are.
