SOC 1243 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,900, and Amazon 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 1241 (Managers in transport and distribution, Fleet manager focus on vehicle fleet operations and transport) or SOC 2131 (IT project managers, Strong IT project management and technical program delivery). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
