About Gerald Eve

Gerald Eve is one of the UK’s leading independent chartered surveying and property consultancy partnerships. We act for the public and private sector, including over 40 per cent of the FTSE 100. Our turnover for 2009/10 was £32.6m and we have been classified as a ‘first class place to work’ by the Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For survey 2011. It is our people who are at the heart of this success, flourishing in a friendly environment.

We have three divisions

Corporate asset management: we manage the property portfolios of a number of companies such as Whitbread, Gondola, David Lloyd Leisure, Guoman Thistle, Marriott, Charles Wells, La Senza and InBEV. This means we do everything for them, from paying business rate to buying and selling property.

Transactions: we have an agency team of 39 specialising in a wide range of sectors ranging from education and healthcare to industrial, retail and leisure.

Consultancy: consultancy is everything else, including building surveying, compulsory purchase and compensation, landlord and tenant, investment management, planning and development, residential leasehold reform, rating and valuation.

Your training

Our excellent track record on first-time passes for MRICS or MRTPI is due to the commitment of our trainees and the quality of our graduate training programme.

Department rotations: we’ll offer you the opportunity to discover which area you’d like to specialise in – our trainees work in a minimum of three departments, working with the team and contributing to client work.

Formal training sessions: you’ll continue to improve your knowledge with theoretical and practical training sessions.

Continued Professional Development (CPD): as a Gerald Eve trainee, you will automatically become a member of the CPD Foundation and be invited to relevant conferences and events throughout the country.

Supervision: our supervisory team is over 45 strong and comprises experienced APC supervisors and counsellors, as well as a dedicated training manager who will mentor you through the training process.

What are we looking for?

We recruit around ten graduates a year, mostly based at our main office in the West End of London, although opportunities do arise in our regional offices.

Personal qualities: we are looking for graduates with good qualifications, personality and spark. You’ll want to work hard, play hard and like working in a team.

Additional skills: we’d like you to have a good RICS or RTPI accredited degree and a proven commitment to a career in property. You’ll need to be IT competent and demonstrate excellent people and communication skills.
