This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2455 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,300, and National Grid 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 3582 (Health and safety managers and officers, Strong CDM and safety assurance focus could fit H&S officer), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask National Grid what the duties actually are.

Please note that in most cases, National Grid is unable to offer sponsorship for employment under the UK points-based immigration system. As such, applicants must have the
legal right to work in the UK without requiring sponsorship now or in the future under the UK points-based immigration system. However, in exceptional circumstances where there is a clear and demonstrable need for specialist skills that cannot be sourced from the local labour market, National Grid may consider offering sponsorship. All applications are welcome from candidates who meet these requirements, regardless of race, nationality, or ethnic origin.
