This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2121 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,400, and NRL 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 3114 (Building and civil engineering technicians, Technical support role assisting civil engineers on site). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

Not necessarily. NRL holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.
