This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2440 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £56,500, and BABCOCK INTERNATIONAL LIMITED 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 2127 (Engineering project managers and project engineers, Nuclear engineering context; supporting engineering-led work packages could make it engineering PM) or SOC 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified., Programme delivery and senior project leadership language could fit). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
