This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2122 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £46,800, and NES Fircroft 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 1121 (Production managers and directors in manufacturing, Technical governance and leadership could be managerial if managing people/budgets). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
