A licence says an organisation may sponsor; it does not say it is hiring today. The way to find out is the same as for any employer: the careers page, the job boards, and a direct approach with a UK-style CV that says early that sponsorship would be needed.
What a licence means
The slow part is done
Getting a licence takes an application, checks and a fee, and most employers never bother. Leonardo UK Ltd has, which means when a role qualifies the certificate can be assigned without months of preparation.
How to approach them
Make the certificate easy
The employer assigns the certificate; you supply what it needs. Certificates, references, your English level and a clear licence position, all ready, is what makes Leonardo UK Ltd say yes to the sponsored candidate over the unsponsored one.
