But civil engineering is in the UK's shortage occupations list.

UK's shortage occupation list does not really reflect the reality on ground. Even with the shortage occupation list, employers are not very open to sponsoring applicant from outside the UK. Except you are in the medical line (care worker inclusive), tech, consulting & finance and some other professions, it is unlikely that an employer will sponsor your visa from outside the UK. The main problem is you need a job and sponsor to get a UK visa, unlike the Canada Express Entry

You schooled in the UK for both degrees and that should counts for something. I also did my Msc here in the UK and got my 5 years skilled worker visa.

Msc. Clinical Child Psychology, 2022 and got my skilled worker visa while still doing my Msc because my undergrad degree in counselling psychology already gave me the graduate membership of the British Psychological Society which was what was needed for the job then I later switched to another visa sponsor with my Msc qualification,

That's nice...I guess that ties back to my earlier statement that healthcare and some professions are exceptions. I finished in 2020 in the pandemic, had a degree not so in demand and that was before the lunch of the graduate visa route which gives students some headroom. Prior to Brexit and even now, some employers are still not open to hiring foreign skilled workers. This is why I don't take the UK's labour shortage occupation list seriously, as it does not reflect the reality of getting a job in UK
