1. If you are shortlisted for interview, you will either be invited to attend an assessment centre at our London HQ office, One Chapel Place or at one of our regional hubs. Assessment centres will typically take place from December through to February. The days are relaxed and welcoming. We want you to feel comfortable and get to know us during the process.
2. It is likely you will be asked to present and complete a group exercise or case study as part of the assessment, in addition to your interview.
3. You may be offered a follow up interview in the office of your chosen role

This year we are recruiting for Rural, Infrastructures and Building Surveying student placements. These placements last for 12 months and are great way to gain experience during your course. Applications will be live from October with interviews taking place in December & January. This is typically a one round interview process at the office in which the placement will take place in.

We also offer an excellent Internship programme in the summer which is a paid 4 week in-person placement based within our hub offices. This is a great way to gain first-hand experience of the work we do within our divisions and understand what a typical graduate role can look like at Carter Jonas. In addition we will also be running virtual insight days in the spring which aim to target those in the early stages of their studies who want to understand what a career in property might entail but may not be studying a property degree. Applications for both opportunities will be open in early 2025.

The APC is a structured training and assessment program that aspiring chartered surveyors undergo to demonstrate their competence in various areas of the property profession.

Candidates typically undergo a structured training period where they work on projects and tasks that align with the defined competencies. This involves on-the-job learning, guidance from mentors, and attending training sessions or courses.

We organise two APC events, one in September and one in March the following year for graduates soon to be taking their APC exams.

A fantastic opportunity for all our graduates to come together to develop technical skills, prepare for APC assessments and develop their knowledge across their chosen areas of specialism. Of course, all their hard work will be rewarded with some dinner and socialising fun!
