SOC 2151 (87% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and ADAS 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 2152 (Environment professionals, If the role focuses more on environmental policy/management than ecology) or SOC 2112 (Biological scientists, If the role is primarily biological survey work). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

Not necessarily. ADAS holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.
What salary is needed for this role to be eligible?
The offer must clear both the general threshold and the SOC 2151 going rate of £41,700. New-entrant and shortage discounts can lower it.
