Working in the United Kingdom as a Construction Manager
Construction Manager is not on a published shortage list in the United Kingdom. That does not close the door: the general skilled-work route still applies, and the salary floor for it is below, compared against what the job actually pays.
Is this occupation on a shortage list?
No. No published shortage list names this occupation, so the general skilled-work route applies.
Does the pay clear the visa salary floor?
Skilled Worker visa
Yes. The median of £45,613 is 109% of the £41,700 floor.
A lower-quartile offer would fall short, so an entry-level role may not qualify even where the median does.
The occupation-specific going rate may be higher than this general floor.
