Common questions

Does Rider Levett Bucknall sponsor visas for its future professionals graduate programme?

Unconfirmed. Rider Levett Bucknall publishes no sponsorship policy for its future professionals graduate programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Rider Levett Bucknall is a global quantity surveying and construction consultancy whose European business covers cost management, project management, programme management, building surveying, health and safety and specialist solutions. Early careers runs on four routes. The graduate programme is a two year learning journey for university graduates with no prior experience, giving mentoring from chartered professionals plus soft and technical skills training across service lines. The apprenticeship is a five year route with degree level study delivered virtually by University College of Estate Management, after which apprentices work towards chartership under a chartered mentor. Year out placements run during university breaks and summer internships run for eight to ten weeks within a service line, and many placement students go on to join the graduate intake. Selection is an application, shortlisting, an informal call with the recruitment team, then an interview online or at an assessment centre, then a second stage interview. Unusually for this sector RLB publishes fixed application windows for all three routes. Nothing on the early careers page addresses sponsorship, visas or right to work.
