This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3556 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,200, and UBT 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, Manages projects through construction lifecycle, but sales focus dominates) or SOC 2432 (Marketing and commercial managers, Commercial manager role, but primarily specification sales). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
