SOC 3113 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £42,500, and Warrington Borough Council 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 3114 (Building and civil engineering technicians, Highway technician index entry fits the highways technical support work) or SOC 3549 (Business associate professionals not elsewhere classified., Business support officer role with administrative and triage duties). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
