You’ll see buildings at every stage: design, feasibility, tender, contract admin, handover, defects… the whole cycle. Exactly the kind of breadth a graduate needs before committing to a specialism.
This isn’t “copy and paste” surveying.
This firm runs a structured, proven APC pathway — with regular check-ins, mock interviews, proper supervision, and senior surveyors who actively carve out time to help you build your diary, not just when it suits them. They’ve developed countless surveyors to MRICS, and they take pride in doing it properly.
They’re big enough to offer structure, but not so big that you become Employee #209 whose name nobody remembers. Graduates here get noticed. They get given responsibility. And they get chances to prove themselves far earlier than in the large corporate setups.
You’ll also work in a team where progression is visible — you’ll see people a year or two ahead of you moving into Building Surveyor and Senior roles, which gives you a path to aim at rather than a foggy promise.
You’ll be surrounded by surveyors, PMs, QSs, designers and H&S specialists — people who actually talk to each other, share knowledge, and want juniors to ask questions.
