Curtins: does its graduate academy sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyCurtins Graduate Academy

Unconfirmed. Curtins publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate academy, so we cannot state a firm answer. Curtins is an employee owned civil and structural engineering consultancy whose specialisms include civils and structures, transport planning, and geotechnical and environmental work, across sectors from arts and culture and data centres to tall buildings and student accommodation. The Graduate Academy, branded Step In, is a four year accredited transformational programme covering both technical and non technical skills with chartership set as the end point, and graduates are mentored and supported by senior professionals while working directly with clients. Offices named on the graduate page are Dublin, London and Kendal in the Lake District, and project types range from new build development through heritage conservation to major retrofit. Curtins also runs a Civils Summer Programme for students, delivered with Symetri, which explores careers in civil and infrastructure engineering, and the firm says many previous interns have been recruited into graduate roles. A graduate academy brochure is published as a PDF. Nothing across the graduate page, the brochure listing or the vacancy site addresses sponsorship, visas or right to work.

“Our accredited 4-year transformational programme will provide you with contemporary technical and non-technical skills to deliver your role and evolve continually, with Chartership as the ultimate goal.”
Curtins, from its own careers pages
The catch: The summer programme and the graduate academy are advertised on the same page with only the summer programme carrying a deadline, so the page can look closed when graduate vacancies are live. Curtins pays graduate membership fees for five years after graduation, which is worth checking against the institution you plan to charter with.
