Job description

Overview

Join to apply for the Graduate Infrastructure Surveyor role at Carter Jonas.

Build the world you want to live in with a career in the infrastructure property sector. We are looking for an ambitious graduate to join our growing Infrastructure team in Winchester. You’ll be joining a small but ambitious team, where autonomy, initiative, and a collaborative spirit are highly valued—and where your ideas will shape the future direction from day one.

Our infrastructure team is the fastest growing of its kind in the country, now with 180 people in seven offices around the UK, working with major clients including Network Rail, HS2, National Highways, National Grid, Homes England and the Crown Estate.

The role

This is an exciting opportunity for an effective individual to become part of our team that delivers real change to people’s lives. You will deal with a wide range of property clients from local Councils and London Boroughs, Network Rail, DfT, TfL, Water companies, and Telecoms providers to homeowners, farmers, equestrian and agri businesses and small and multinational commercial businesses. You will take an active part in assisting with the negotiation of acquisition and relocation packages for a range of property types including farming businesses, commercial and industrial businesses and residential property, supporting the consenting and delivery of major infrastructure projects.

Your work each day will vary; you could be supporting with gaining consent for access across third party land, negotiating lease events, acquiring land and buildings, negotiating business relocations, asset acquisitions and disposals, valuations and contributing to strategic land acquisition reports. You will undertake site visits, meet clients and colleagues, and attend public consultation events.

You will take an active role in the development and implementation of efficient, ‘best practice’ internal systems and processes, optimising IT and other resources. You will gain experience in some specialised and sought-after skills including land assembly negotiations and compulsory purchase. Our in-house Academy training course will give you a head start with over 20 hours of CPD. Clients are at the heart of what we do, so ensuring you develop and maintain strong relationships with our clients is essential, this includes attending client meetings and preparing communications and reports.

What will it take to be successful?

Candidates applying to Infrastructures will be from a variety of backgrounds; we are interested in receiving applications from students available to join us in Autumn 2025 who have a keen interest in the infrastructure of our country and the ways we can make a difference to the world we live in. You will be from land management, environmental, infrastructure, planning & development, land administration, geography, real estate and various educational backgrounds, and you will develop a broad understanding of the role in the entire property/real estate lifecycle—from land registration/mapping to management to development to remediation and reuse.

Ideally you will have a RICS accredited degree; however we do welcome applications from candidates with non-accredited degrees and other relevant qualifications. For GIS and Geospatial opportunities, you will be able to follow the CICES: Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors and RGS: Royal Geographic Society as Chartered GIS / Geographers. Experience within a real estate or civil engineering organisation across the rural, commercial or energy sectors gained through work experience or placements will be an advantage. It is essential that you have a full driving license as regular travel is required.
