This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2139 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £52,300, and Birchman 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 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers, Focus on IT systems design and architecture for manufacturing) or SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Advisory/consulting role guiding clients on business processes). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
