This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1122 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £53,400, and Spencer Ogden 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 2455 (Construction project managers and related professionals, Project management focus rather than direct site supervision). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
