This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2440 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 44% sure that is the right code. EAST WEST RAILWAY COMPANY LIMITED 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 2455 (Construction project managers and related professionals) or SOC 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
EWR is one of the UK’s largest infrastructure projects, which the government committed to delivering in full in the Autumn 2024 Budget, and again in the 2025 Spending Review as part of its ambition to unlock the potential of the Oxford to Cambridge Growth Corridor.
EWR is being championed by the Government as a key driver to economic growth leading to a potential £78 Billion boost to the UK economy: supporting new towns, housing, and regeneration.
Role Summary:
This role is fundamental in helping shape the direction of the project to drive value and enable transformational growth in the region, strengthening advocacy for it among industry, key stakeholders and communities. The role will report to a Programme Sponsor and is both internal and external facing, working closely with the Department for Transport, Network Rail, industry stakeholders and others, as the portfolio requires.
