This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3541 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Network Rail 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 2454 (Chartered surveyors, Chartered surveyor role if professionally qualified and valuing property) or SOC 1241 (Managers in transport and distribution, Managing railway land portfolio could be transport management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
