This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2481 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Norton Motorcycles 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 3115 (Quality assurance technicians, Some duties involve hands-on inspection and testing work) or SOC 2482 (Quality assurance and regulatory professionals, Role includes monitoring and reporting on supplier quality performance). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
