Gerald Eve prides itself on being able to offer the highest standard of training and dedicated support for all its graduates and surveyors, continuing throughout their careers. We are a well-established, professional and highly regarded Partnership within the industry, consistent in our goal to recruit bright, dynamic people who will grow with the Firm and become our Partners of the future.
Our aim is to nurture creative and dynamic property consultants. Our graduate trainee programme is well-respected.

You’ll be out and about on inspections, researching the market and presenting arguments. We’ll help you build up your competencies. We work hard to get you through your APC as quickly and painlessly as possible. The formal training is both theoretical and practical and will help you consolidate your knowledge.
You will work with specialists from different surveying disciplines (such as valuation, business rates, lease consultancy and agency) to ensure you get varied experience and the knowledge to pass your APC. This helps graduates decide on the specialism they want to pursue long-term.

We look for individuals who have excellent written and numeracy skills, but above all are individuals who demonstrate a passion for property and the built environment, a drive for excellent client service, and have a curiosity for how things are done and how they can be improved.
