No published policyManagement Trainee Programme

Unconfirmed. Willmott Dixon publishes no sponsorship policy for its management trainee programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Willmott Dixon runs three routes into the same management trainee programme. The school or college route takes four years and carries a higher level apprenticeship qualification, the construction graduate route takes two years, and the non construction graduate route takes three. Every trainee starts with a two week hands on trade awareness programme, then moves through structured rotations covering site management, design, commercial and sustainability. The company says current leaders including the CEO and executive chairman started as management trainees. Pay is described only as a competitive salary with increases as you progress, with qualifications funded. Nothing on the page addresses visa sponsorship or right to work.
