This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3116 (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.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3543 (Project support officers, Coordination of plans and stakeholders resembles project support work), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Network Rail what the duties actually are.
