This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1241 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,900, and Martin Brower UK and Ireland 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 1243 (Managers in logistics, Logistics manager fits if supply-chain coordination dominates over transport operations). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
