SOC 2455 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,300, and Derbyshire County Council 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 2121 (Civil engineers, If the role focuses on engineering design of infrastructure). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
