Which construction companies sponsor UK visas? Main contractors, civil engineering firms, housebuilders and consultancies all hold sponsor licences. The live register filter shows every sponsor under construction, and which of them are hiring right now.
What visa do I need to work in construction in the UK? Most construction professionals use the Skilled Worker visa, which needs a job offer from a licensed sponsor at the required salary and skill level. Several construction trades have also been added to the eligible occupation list, though professional roles like engineers and surveyors are sponsored most often.
Can skilled trades like bricklayers and carpenters get sponsored? Some construction trades, including bricklayers, roofers, plasterers and carpenters, have been made eligible for the Skilled Worker route to ease shortages. Eligibility still depends on the job meeting the salary rules and the employer holding a licence, so check the current occupation list for your trade before you apply.
