Max Fordham: does its graduate engineer, designer and consultant entry sponsor a UK visa?
Unconfirmed. Max Fordham publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate engineer, designer and consultant entry, so we cannot state a firm answer. Max Fordham is an employee owned partnership of building services engineers, designers and sustainability consultants working on mechanical and electrical engineering, daylighting, acoustics, building physics and strategic sustainability consultancy for the built environment. Its graduate entry is unusually open on degree subject: the practice welcomes graduates from engineering, physical sciences, architecture and other technical or social science backgrounds rather than restricting to accredited engineering degrees. New joiners get a principles led and integrated training programme with support from mentors, peers and senior colleagues, aimed at chartership and then at higher levels of seniority and leadership. Vacancies are posted on a separate careers subdomain with an early careers vacancies section, and recent postings have included graduate engineers and a graduate lighting specialist based in the London and Edinburgh offices. Salary is described as competitive and dependent on experience rather than published as a figure. Nothing across the culture and careers pages or the vacancy listings addresses sponsorship, visas or right to work.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?
The pay for this scheme is not published clearly enough to judge against the threshold.
What is the catch international students miss with Max Fordham?
Roles are advertised as one posting covering both the London and Edinburgh offices, so the location is decided after application rather than chosen at application. Vacancies live on a separate careers subdomain, not on the main site.
How should I confirm Max Fordham's sponsorship before applying?
Read the specific vacancy on Max Fordham's careers site, ask its early-careers team directly, and check the employer on the gov.uk Register of Licensed Sponsors. Policies and thresholds change, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm for the exact role and cycle.
