SOC 3556 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,200, and Xylem 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, Strategic leadership and global accountability could indicate director-level role) or SOC 3552 (Business sales executives, Technical sales of ultrapure water products if execution-focused). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
