Savills. They offer 4 graduate schemes; Surveying (commercial, residential and development), Rural, Building Surveying and Planning. The Surveying Programme in London, involves a rotation scheme where graduates rotate between different specialist departments across London offices. This will typically involve four-monthly rotations but can sometimes involve longer stays in your allocated departments. The teams span a wide variety of specialism’s; Commercial, Residential or Planning and Development or a combination. As a trainee surveyor outside London, you will be given an individually tailored role, which will provide you with excellent experience and increasing levels of responsibility. If you are working towards your APC, in some cases there is an opportunity for rotation to ensure you have sufficient experience. A career in Planning may be of interest if you have studied social science subjects such as Geography, Planning, Land Management, Urban/Regional Economics or subjects such as Architecture and Urban Design, and indeed within Planning, Savills have Urban Design and Landscape Architecture teams. In the Building Surveying Programme they have opportunities in London, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Glasgow and Edinburgh. An individual training programme is developed for you.

To apply for this graduate scheme you will need to hold or be working towards a relevant degree with full RICS exemption. The Rural Graduate Programme will give you exposure to rural estate and environmental management, consultancy and planning, rental and lease review, auctioneering and valuation. The grad swap scheme gives you the opportunity to work in a different Savills office in another country for one rotation (4 months). Working in a different Savills team you can continue your APC studies whilst you will work and live as your “swap buddy” would have done during this rotation.
