This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3116 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Anglian Water Services 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 3544 (Data analysts, Strong data analysis focus could fit data analyst group) or SOC 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers, System analyst index entry and IT systems focus). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
