SOC 1122 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 32% sure that is the right code. Octavius Infrastructure is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 5330 (Construction and building trades supervisors) or SOC 2455 (Construction project managers and related professionals). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
