This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 5223 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and SARIA UK 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 3113 (Engineering technicians, If the role is more general technical support than hands-on mechanical fitting). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
