Upon completing the graduate scheme, you'll join one of the various property teams within Commercial Development. There, you'll be supported to pass your RICS APC and gain your chartership.

Over the next five years, successful graduates will work towards becoming Senior Surveyors or Development Managers over the next five years, while developing their leadership, technical and professional skills through on-the-job training.
