This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1243 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,900, and Balfour Beatty plc 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 1134 (Purchasing managers and directors, Strong focus on procurement and supplier relationship management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
