Common questions

Does J. Murphy & Sons sponsor visas for its sponsored placement student programme?

Unconfirmed. J. Murphy & Sons publishes no sponsorship policy for its sponsored placement student programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. The Sponsored Placement Student Programme is aimed at civil and mechanical engineering undergraduates across the UK. Murphy runs it nationally as paid summer and industrial placements repeated through the course of your degree, rather than a single year in industry. Placement students earn a pro rata professional salary. The published draw is that students on the programme can secure a place on the Murphy graduate programme before they finish, so final year is spent on exams rather than applications. Murphy describes itself as one of the biggest contractors in the UK and Ireland with hundreds of live projects at any time, and says placement students start full time work already understanding the business. The page publishes no salary figure, no application deadline and no visa sponsorship statement.
