This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3556 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,200, and Panavision is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 1257 (Hire services managers and proprietors, Hire services manager if managing rental operations is the main work), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Panavision what the duties actually are.
