This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 5241 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Wates Group is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 5246 (Electrical service and maintenance mechanics and repairers, Maintenance-focused electrical work across FM sites), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Wates Group what the duties actually are.
