For this reason, we cannot accept applications from candidates who would be working under the Graduate visa route or other time-limited visas, (irrespective of visa duration), due to their temporary nature and the requirement for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route in future.\nWe continue to welcome applications from candidates who are eligible for alternative immigration routes in the UK, that do not require sponsorship as a Skilled Worker now or in future - visas must cover the duration of the apprenticeship. Successful candidates need to have resided in the country they have applied to for at least three years.\nAI Usage\nAt Mott MacDonald, we see the value AI can bring, but we take a people-first approach to hiring.
