Wates: does its graduate trainee route sponsor a UK visa?

Unconfirmed. Wates publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate trainee route, so we cannot state a firm answer. Wates is a family owned contractor with more than 125 years of history. The graduate trainee route runs for two years and ends with a move into an assistant manager level role. Entry needs a 2:2 degree or equivalent, or to be on track for one, and no previous work experience is required. Nine pathways are published: building services engineering management, business management, commercial management, design management, development management, bid and estimating management, planning management, production and site management, and social value management. Graduates without an industry degree work towards a level 4 qualification with the CIOB, CIBSE or RICS, while those with a related degree begin chartership immediately. Benefits listed include a competitive industry salary, a car allowance or company car, volunteering days and an employer pension contribution. Nothing on the page mentions visa sponsorship or right to work.
