This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2451 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £47,600, and WSP in the 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 2452 (Chartered architectural technologists, planning officers and consultants, Landscape Planner role involves planning and co-ordinating development layouts). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
