SOC 2122 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £46,800, and Assystem Energy & Infrastructure Limited 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 2127 (Engineering project managers and project engineers, Project management and gated review involvement is mentioned) or SOC 3113 (Engineering technicians, Some technical support duties described). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
