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. This includes those on the Third Level Graduate Programme or other temporary permissions that do not provide a clear pathway to long-term employment without sponsorship.

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.
