Important construction notes
Some construction and technical occupations appear on shortage linked lists, but eligibility still depends on the current list, the exact occupation code and the salary.
Skilled trade jobs have specific occupation codes, so the exact job title and duties must be checked, not just the trade name.

Four checks belong together.
Do not rely on the sector or employer name alone. Check the details of the specific job.
Occupation code
The exact duties and occupation code matter. Similar job titles can sit under different codes.
Licensed sponsor
Check that the employer appears on the sponsor register and read the result in the context of the exact vacancy.
Salary context
Compare the advertised salary with the published salary treatment and going rate for the occupation.
Exact vacancy
A sponsor licence does not mean every job will be sponsored. The employer decides whether sponsorship is offered.
