Want your first QS role to involve real money, real contracts and real responsibility?
Some graduate schemes keep you watching from the side. This one puts you at the heart of the project from the start, in a business where junior surveyors sit in client meetings and are backed to study while they work. You'd learn the job by doing it.
Is this you?

You're good with numbers, you ask good questions, and you're fascinated by how the built environment actually gets built.
You'd rather get stuck into real commercial work than spend a year on the sidelines.
If that's you, keep reading.
