SOC 2127 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £51,900, and Antac Support Services Ltd 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 2455 (Construction project managers and related professionals, Mechanical projects on MoD sites involve construction/building works) or SOC 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals, Commercial and budget focus could fit general project management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
