This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2452 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and M Group Energy 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 2455 (Construction project managers and related professionals, If role focused on managing construction projects rather than producing programmes.) or SOC 2481 (Quality control and planning engineers, If emphasis were on engineering planning and work sequencing.). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
