Turner & Townsend are not currently offering sponsorship employment permit sponsorship to candidates for roles under the Critical Skills or General Employment Permit schemes.

Our graduate programme is designed to foster long‑term development, training and career progression. For this reason, we are unable to consider applications from individuals on time‑limited immigration permissions (such as Stamp 1G or Stamp
2) where future employment would require sponsorship under the Irish employment permit system.

We continue to welcome applications from candidates who are eligible to work in Ireland without the need for an employment permit, now or in the future. This includes Irish and EEA nationals, as well as individuals holding Stamp 4 or other long‑term residency permissions that allow full access to the Irish labour market.

SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, which are to be adhered to where applicable.

Turner & Townsend is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and actively encourage applications from all sectors of the community.

It is strictly against Turner & Townsend policy for candidates to pay any fee in relation to our recruitment process. No recruitment agency working with Turner & Townsend will ask candidates to pay a fee at any time.
